Oceania Middle Champs. Was thinking this was my best shot as the world cup guys were running the long and didn't fancy my chances in the sprint. Race plan was to hold back a bit on the running and try be as clean as possible. Safe route to 1 running harder than I wanted to but nailed it anyway, still running to much and not looking at the map enough to 2 and lost 30sec in the circle. A bit unsure into 3 but the leg gave me time to settle down and get into a good rhythm. From 4 to 8 I was in the zone, was running alot harder than I had expected to on a technicle map but it felt good and I was nailing the nav at the same time. Caught Brodie as we got 8 and was right behind him on 9 and 10. Took the lead going to 11, almost lost contact in the circle but got it alright. From there all the way to the finish I was running with Brodie. We both pushed each other pretty hard, made the nav a bit messy but having two people meant we got them all pretty quick. In the end I won Henry 2nd, Brodie 3rd then a 6 minute gap to 4th. Pretty stoked to get an Oceania title.
