WA Long Distance champs. Despite my main goal being not to wear myself out for the middle the next day I managed to achieve one of my best long distance results. I just tried to maintain a steady pace and concentrate on my nav and managed to get around with little lost time. I caught sight of Bruce (2min) as I ran into #3 but I didn't catch up until #6 and eventually dropped him on the way to #15, when we took different routes. One of the Danes went past at #14 looking very strong. Started to tire a bit on the hills at the end but was doing much better than a lot of long races over the last few years. I finished 10min down on Simon in 6th and 4th Aussie.
