Not feeling super pumped for this given that (I found out last night) it wasn't a NOL race and it was cold and raining. Just planned on running solid. Started well but drifted waaay left on 3 and ended up running the track route - didn't lose too much time so all good. the long leg (5) wasn't so good for me, i changed my mind half way along (based on how the vegetation was looking my original route started seeming dodgy) and lost a bit of time there. kept it fairly clean for the rest except for the dodgy one on the rock (11) but it looks like everyone lost more there than i did. briefly snatched the lead from simon at 14 but i ran right (high) to 15 and lost a little bit, but held on enough to finish 2nd just 25 seconds down. reasonable course for a pretty ordinary area. why wasn't this a NOL race?
my time in the results is a minute slower than my gps - was that the same for everyone?
