Teering race (Aus Champs) 50:10 [5] 5.14 km (9:45 / km) +78m 9:04 / km
shoes: Inov8 OROC 280
St Helen's. Middle Distance. M55, 7th. If I had a vague map I wouldn't stick the flags in the deepest crevices I could find. That's not how to make a course "technical".
OK, so the above comment relates to no. 6 on Course 6. The race was a WRE, and had an IOF advisor, but the elite courses were kept largely separate from the rest and this control was not on the elite courses. Therefore I have no doubt that the WRE race was technically fair (and demanding).
This course also featured a new slowness record - it took me 1:38 to travel 60m on the way to the last control, using the fall down, stand up, take a step, fall down again technique.
Lost a little bit of time at 1, 2, 4 and was in 2nd place at 5. Then came the above 6 (got within 10m of it on the first attempt and then spent the next 13 minutes searching the same creek).
Quickroute suggests a couple of things. 1- the ditch between 5 and 6 is mapped too far west (I ran along it). That may have contributed to where the flag was placed - too far west. 2- the flag was around 15m north of the centre of the circle (the higher of the two red shades on the QR line within the circle at 6). But remember there is a +/-15m error inherent in the GPS and I had to adjust the trace by using features around 6 like the flags at 5 and 7 and the track to the east.
The basic problem was that there were 2 or 3 strands of the creek in the creek system, with only one watercourse marked on the map.

Core Stability (Pilates) 1:00:00 [1]
Massive DOMS from the intervals. Hopefully not injured. Couldn't do the "Magic Circle" at all - adductors are shot. On the plus side I think that's a good sign.
