O Race race (Race) 39:15 [5] 7.1 km (5:32 / km)
shoes: Asics Cumulus 2010
Distance as per GPS tracker. Pretty clean run. I knew I had Jeremy 2mins behind so didn't want to stuff up. Still I took it relatively easy for the first few controls, concentrating on accuracy rather than speed. I did have a 15sec error on the way to #8 and didn't cut directly across the open land with the cricket pitch. I was very careful in the tricky sections in the last quarter of the course and hit them all spot on except 14 (1min) & 15 (30 sec). Out of the SA runners only Nic managed to beat me - so technical skills ruled the day :-)
