Orienteering race 44:56 [4] 6.32 km (7:07 / km) +107m 6:33 / km

Park/street o as part of the expansion weekend for a potential upper hunter club. Last person to start after running SI and it was getting hot. Collected all controls with 4 secs to spare. Burgo was about 1:30 quicker than me.

HRM still seeming dodgy. Average 191?

Not sure how wet in the bush so road bike down Fernleigh. Must be something wrong with HRM was reading 60 riding 27kph up a long hill and have had a few other strange results lately.

ahr:127 max:155

Overnight in Sydney for work. M7 bike path. 15km then turn around and go back. Don't find it pleasant riding so close to a busy, noisy and smelly major road.

Event: BOSS MTBO Round 1

9 AM

MTBO race 1:13:00 [4] 18.2 km (4:01 / km) +250m 3:45 / km

First Newcastle MTBO for summer. Wasn't feeling in race mode and fluffed around for an hour before starting. More motivated once started but didn't put in 110% at any point. Happy with navigation for first hour, got a bit sloppy on route choice and navigation towards the end and probably cost time that I could have used to get a couple of extra points. Think I was 4th behind steveo, Fergus and Andrew H. Would have been good to be equal or in front of Andrew but that would have required full effort and less mistakes at the end.

Tracks were far drier than I had expected after the 20+ mm of rain.

MTB 1:21:37 [3] 26.8 km (3:03 / km) +566m 2:45 / km
ahr:139 max:165

Lap of Glenrock. Drier than reported after last nights rain. Only one or two puddles, water had washed some of the loose stuff and leaf matter off the track, and already back to dusty in a lost of places.

Event: ACT MTBO Middle/Long Distance Championships

Friday Oct 13, 2017 #

MTB 1:27:53 [3] 26.8 km (3:17 / km) +566m 2:58 / km
ahr:136 max:174

Lap of Glenrock. Legs still feeling tired but maybe all the manual labour at home is contributing to that. Sun was out, surfers getting some good waves and a couple of whales cruising past not far from shore, no motivation to go home and work.

MTBO race 1:27:30 [4] 27.21 km (3:13 / km) +403m 3:00 / km
ahr:149 max:164

Aus MTBO Champs - Long. 4th 8 minutes behind 1st, 7 seconds behind 3rd. 3rd to 8th covered by only 1 minute. No errors, took single track for several routes, comparing splits after might have been a little faster on fire roads for a few. Biggest time loss was slowing/stopping to eat/drink after 13. Managed to have a fairly heavy face plant just before 16, handlebar collected a branch/tree (same tree caught a few people). Consulted with Dr O-ing just after who gave me the all clear to continue. Promptly stacked on the next corner when front wheel caught in the loose sand. Head and body feeling a little worse for wear now that I'm at home.

While would have been happier with placing in all three events over the weekend I was happy to win overall Aus series for M50, I think by only 1 point.

MTBO race 34:07 [4] 10.06 km (3:23 / km) +130m 3:11 / km
ahr:158 max:171

Aus MTBO Champs - Sprint. 4th about 2 minutes behind 1st. Poor route choices for 9 and 13, lost total of about 1:30. Poor execution of route to 12 and lost about another 1:00. Winner made same route choice to 9.

2 PM

MTBO race 1:01:07 [5] 15.25 km (4:00 / km) +359m 3:35 / km
ahr:160 max:174

Aus MTBO Champs - Middle. 3rd 3:37 behind 1st. No errors, 2 poor route choices, each cost 1:30-2:00 minutes, one I'd do differently the other I'd probably do the same again and both those ahead of me choose the same route.

Ride to and from course start.

MTBO 56:50 [3] 13.12 km (4:20 / km) +205m 4:01 / km
ahr:122 max:158

Navigation practice. Middle course from 2015 NSW Champs. Nearly 10 minutes slower than time in race. Quite a few extra tracks not on map.

Stick went through tread and out sidewall of rear tire. Surprisingly sealed enough to finish and get back to the car.
