MTB - O race (Van Gaalens) 1:18:59 [4] 25.49 km (19.4 kph)
shoes: Specialized Epic FSR Mthn 2014
Van Gaalen's Bike Trails - 1:20'000
Had a good start with no problems over the first section. I stayed on the largest northern tracks to #5, but Alex's split was faster on the middle track. I seemed to gain a bit of time on him on the longer legs, but then he'd be quicker on the shorter, technical riding.
Fell over at #7 when I mistimed my punching effort. Then got suckered leaving #8 by a track that wasnt there around part of a pivot irrigation field. Also lost a bit searching for #9, about 90s for both combined. Another mistake going to #12 when I got caught out on a track next to a field instead of following the main track. Final mistakes were at #13 where I didn't leave the single track at the right place going into the control and to #15 where I stayed next to the river instead of returning on the main track.
Finished about 30s behind Alex. Didn't make any real mistakes technically, so a lack of sprint speedwork was my downfall. Need to up the training before the final race in the MTBO series.
Av 18.0
