MTB warm up/down 10:00 [3]
shoes: Louis Garneau Monte Rosa MTB
Up the hill to the start. It was freezing and I felt pretty shattered by the time I got to the top...good start!!!
2 PM
MTB race (SA MTBO - Middle) 2:00:37 [3]
shoes: Louis Garneau Monte Rosa MTB
Mount Richmond Forest
Hmmm, my first ever DNF. It was freezing, the tracks felt impossible (so much sand) and my breathing was getting pretty bad. I was feeling hopelessly stubborn so went all the way out to the far end of the map to 9 but decided after that it just wasn't worth it 'cause I couldn't concentrate and felt awful. Feeling pretty miserable afterwards.

MTB 45:00 [1]
shoes: Louis Garneau Monte Rosa MTB
Training ride with Michael Wood checking that we'd put our bikes together right, could still ride and could still navigate. Some tracks were a bit overgrown. Feeling nervous but not quite as terrified as earlier.
2 PM
MTB race (SA MTBO Long) 2:13:55 [4] 29.0 km (4:37 / km)
shoes: Louis Garneau Monte Rosa MTB
Caroline Forest
Fairly flat and not particularly technical navigational-wise although if you'd lost concentration in the grid of tracks it could have been confusing. Riding across the yellow is a bit weird to get used to. Went mostly okay apart from hesitating too much on the single track from 7-8 (it seemed to take forever) and leaving 10 in completely the wrong direction across the yellow.

With Tania. It was a bit of a weird class but I kind of got used to it by the end so started out not that hard but was really pushing it by the end. She does use some weird music though.

Note
(injured) (rest day)
It was SO cold today...in fact the weather report said it was colder here than in Dunedin by 3 degrees which is just plain ridiculous.
