Sydney Sprint Series at Sydney University
We didn't get out for a run in Katoomba but I was keen to make it to the sprint race at the new Sydney Uni map. It was a very tight time slot with the event starting at 5pm and my flight home at 6.30pm. And then looking for the start in the wrong place didn't help either. Fortunately we got to start just in to time and make it to check in at 5.55pm.
The course was just as good as I had hoped. Pretty difficult to start with and it took me until 4 to start to feel in control. I suspect there were a few people running through the olive green looking at the splits, perhaps a bit more education of the rules of sprint o.
I finished 2nd behind Brooner, who I've never met but I believe he's an englishman in Sydney. And just managed to hold off the NSW juniors.
Congrats to Bigfoot and Andrew Lumsden for getting this map up to sprint standard. And thanks to Undy I was able to check the results after hoping of the plane in Melbourne.
