Spectator Event 1 - physically aiming for 3 pace, not 4 pace max. Cleaner than many perhaps, due to terrain practice (models & WOC Quali) so managed 9th, down to 8-minutes = 25 sec/control, using 20% behind superman in M35 (much easier than WOC Quali's 40% behind :) ). It's going to be hard to get to ~1 minute clean in this terrain. Maybe, but not sure when.

GPS died after 33 minutes. Battery life is going to crap. Wonder if something happened on the plane or other travel, as the reduction in life seems rather abrupt.

Distance note - official course length was 4.5km and my route isn't polluted by 3km of errors - running around on navigable trails (incl. indistinct) or via the more recognizable contour or clearing-features is a key part of the game here.

Run to start. Late, due to parking 4km away, and 200m below, the finish area. Even hitched a ride halfway, but getting the kids up there, and settled into French childcare (Oriana) and onto White, just on time (AJ) was higher prioirty than my start. Fortunately, the organizers adjusted my start time due to the bad parking planning, and no-notification of how far it might be...
