Race 3
Same place
Chasing Start

17s behind Freddo, 14 behind Tim, 5 behind Yannick and Topias 5s behind me.

Catching a little on the long leg to 1 then decided to go north round the lake to 2 and lost 3s. At first pass though spectator the gaps were still pretty similar but by third time Tim and Freddo had got more time and it was definitely noticeable a few controls later at 19, when I'd followed Yannick instead of taking the route I'd planned to take which would have been quicker. On way to 21 decided to push harder and went past Yannick over the bridge and got a little gap which stuck to the end.

1st Leg
Pan Team 2

Awesome.

Shame my o wasn't so good, probably my worse run of the year.

Started in 184th, 5 rows back. By the start kite maybe I had made up 30 places. First section was trying to avoid breathing in too much dust and falling over, including other falling runners... Knew where I was going to one until the final couple of hundred metres and then maybe I got a bit lucky. Should just have run as hard as possible and bounced off the path behind.

By common #2 was up to 34th but instead of following the guy ahead I decided he was going too far left and went my own direction to 3 and hit the wrong gaffle to the right... This time I just kept going to the path and came back as I wasn't sure which hole in the ground the wrong control was in. +1.30

Then I was in the train, not so easy to overtake and at times the pace felt like a jog.

Occasionally a guy with a bib (top 20ish runner) would come past but generally I was the one overtaking when I could.

At control 11 seems I was about ~75-90s off leaders.

Then made another mistake at 13, basically got into wrong train out of 12 but wasn't too bad until I ran across a path near to the control and thought the only path on the map is after my control...but it was so small I thought maybe it is an animal track. So after getting to the wrong gaffle I at least had a vague idea where I needed to go.

After punching the right gaffle I ended up in no mans land with a big group 45s ahead and another 30s back punching the next common control. I then messed up the next 'easy' control. Only benefit was that Antonio messed it up more and we came to the control at the same time, at which point I decided just to keep up with him on the long run to the finish.

4.30 mins down at the finish, 70th.

Monument Mile
B Race
Drizzle and slight wind.

First 2 laps felt slow and a couple of times I was in the 3rd lane! Probably the easiest sub 3 km I've ever run (~2.53). Jack Kerr had set off fast and had a gap on the rest of us (in hindsight should have gone with him). Fraser leading the main pack. With 700m to go decided it was time for me to go for it, as it was the 3rd lap I lost the most on in the trial mile a few weeks ago. Went from the back of the group to the front in about 30m. Seemed to get a little gap but didn't look behind but in the last lap was expecting to be overtaken however no on ever came, closed on Jack but still 3s behind.

9s PB (2012). Still think low 4.20s is possible with better conditions and better pace in first 2 laps.
