Tasmanian Relay Champs - Five Mile Beach
First time on this map which apparently is a regular for southerners. Butterfly loops set be Lee A mixed it up a bit.
Went out as last runner in the 'Senior' class for EVOC. Browny fucked up the first control on his leg, so we had a DNF before I headed out.
Happy with my pace, even though it was very slow compared to others. Didn't sway to far left or right and proud of myself for actually using a compass. Tried to force myself to maintain a steady speed and momentum and not stop to look at the map or for a rest. Worked well, particularly when trying to concentrate on not twisting an ankle on a pine cone.
Tried to get the fastest finish split but put that right boot into a rabbit hole and bang ther goes the ankle again! Limped into the finish.
Turns out we would've won the senior class by about 18 mins if we didin't get a DNF. Oh well we weren't the only one's.
