Event (Boomerang Park CATI) 50:49 [3] 3.7 km (13:44 / km)
shoes: black+blue
This is why I love the NSW (Newcastle Shorts Weekend). Our advertised event couldn't be held due to lack of permission and when it did come through an exorbitant fee was demanded. Geoff P hurriedly threw together 4 courses which were fantastic. I elected to do the Long, knowing I would be way behind the leader but very much enjoyed it. Got there early to help set up, then I did admin duty beforehand which included another 3 new families, someone doing an Amazing Race birthday treat, clues and all. Mostly sunny but puffs of icy breeze.
Only mistake was to follow the wrong line out of a pivot control and I was briefly going from 7 to 12 rather than 8. this resulted in losing about 1:40 by the time I realised. Good reminder for upcoming Sprint and Shorts events.
