IOC 2022 Middle
Cappanalea
M21E (need to specify class these days)
4th
Target would definitely have been the podium, so 1 position off that, but I was 1.48 off 1st and 1.22 off 3rd. It was a tight top 3 with only seconds separating them. I couldn't have run that sort of time so happy with how I performed, more competitive than I thought I might be.
Looking at the splits i'm consistently off the top few positions so my overall position reflects that. Not that far off but, still not at that pace. Most happy with not being that far behind on the split between 7 and 8, but lost more between 12-13 which reflects how tired I was feeling at that stage up that hill.
I think having run here before helped in places, but it probably wasn't the most technical of courses, more physical today.
Not sure what the best way to 10 was, I kinda went left.
12 I was definitely a bit unsure going across the slope despite seeing the tree. Got stuck for a few seconds in the drain between 13 and 14, right leg sunk a good bit into bog, so that affected momentum on that leg.
Overall though i'm happy with how I raced today.
