I was teamed up with Kevin for the weekend and the furthest we had both run in training was 16km. Much pain was in store for us :-) It poured the whole day which actually made the running conditions quite comfortable. We started with the SW loop and headed anti-clockwise around the perimeter, collecting all the high-scoring controls at a good jog. After 3 hours, we had covered 25km and collected 80 points but the wheels pretty much fell off at that point. We spent the remaining 3 hours walking/limping/jogging and tried to salvage as many points as possible on the way to the finish. It turned our that we were a little too conservative and finished with 16 minutes to spare on 112 points, 6th place of the open male teams.
