Aus relays. 1st leg. Got a good start but then made a dumb mistake at 7 and lost a couple of minutes. Was just behind jas coming through the spectator control but then didn't see her after that. Got a bit off line and missed one of the crossings and got totally stuck in the green. Came in about 10 secs behind jas.
Aus Long. disappointing race. was never going to be particularly quick, and didn't really have a lot of energy left after a long week, but had hoped to at least hold things together navigationally. instead I managed to blow about 8 mins in the last loop and turn a semi-respectable result into another crap one.
Aus Sprint. Completely awful weather - horizontal freezing rain which made the rock slabs around the coastline super slippery and dangerous. it was a pity about the weather, cos the area was awesome and would have been a great day out if the sun was shining.
the first control was really tricky - mainly to adapt to the scale in time to pick the entrance to the coastal rock slabs. I thought the mapping around the rock was good - simplified well so that it made sense at speed (not that there was much of that) and consistent.
I got through with no real mistakes - just not quick enough to make much of an impression on the times of the fast girls. pretty happy with my place overall - very good for me in a sprint!
