Up to Bathhurst for Aust Sprint Champs and Middle Champs tomorrow. Hot and windy, unbelievably. Did a decent warm up in amongst craziness of getting there with kids etc Felt like needed more water so had a bit more and also figured it wasn't a big deal given sprint race.

M45 Australian Sprint Champs. 1st control was tricky being round the corner from the start triangle. Managed to get it although my control description flew out of holder on way to first - time for a new holder! Started to find a rhythm and could stride out on 3rd control which was a bit longer. Course trickier than I had anticipated with good use of undercover walkways to cut through (or not) and plenty of little olive greens stopping other cut throughs.
Was hitting them pretty well although running on edge so a few hesitations including going in one building too early on 5. By 7 and 8 starts to spot Jonno McComb ahead - knowing he was on my course and I was last starter was encouraging.
Kept hitting them and got a little help as started spotting Jonno getting them. Unfortunately help turned bad 17-18. I was probably a little too reliant on Jonno who was just ahead and across longer leg he, and I, both started navigating to 13 where lines crossed over. We hit 13 and knew something was wrong. I worked out what I thought had happened but wasn't sure and in hurly burly of it all wasn't even sure I'd gone to 17. Decided I had and hesitantly went round corner to 18. Probably dumped 30s - a fair bit in this sorta race. Certainly dumped some confidence! Jonno headed in other direction and didn't see him again. Was hesitant again on way to 19 unsure of self and double checking a few things but got back into it for last control.
Annoying error on 17-18 although typical/common in a sprint race. My running speed and rest of performance held up well to get 2nd, 20s behind Jock and a fair way ahead of 3rd. Any day 20s behind Jock is a good day so bit of a confidence booster.
