Adventure Racing race (Kinetic Urban) 1:37:15 [5] 23.0 km (4:14 / km)
0800 - The 5th race in the Kinetic Urban series, this one at the Waterfall Estate near Kyalami. Great course, with all of it off road on the estate. Quite a bit of interpretive nav as well.
Team Cyanosis comprised of myself, Ryno and Clinton. We had a good one, starting off well on a mtb, run, mtb, run combo. Only 1 problem, when we overshot 1 cp on the 2nd mtb leg. Otherwise all good, and we were able to take splits on some of the other top teams who were doing the combos in different orders. Knew we would be in the lead starting the last padlde and obstacle course as a result. The paddle turned into a wade and push, with me doing the deep-water spotting up front. Obstacle course was hard as a result of wet shoes.
Strong result in the end, with a 15-minute winning margin over Peptopro and Numa Optics. Nice turnout of 80 teams.
Bike stats were Tm 1:01:12, Dst 17.8, Av 17.4, Mx 41.2
