Race Evaluation

Australian Middle Distance/Relay Championships: Oz Middle Course 5

O-ing

1. P D P R 4 Nice. Went straight at it, angled left of the two boulders on the approach, the control boulder stood up and waved to me
2. P D P R 5 Again used boulders on the way. Kept a good dirtection, unlike loads of others. Led Paul Pacque in - now 2:04 ahead of him.
3. P D P R 4 +00:05Nasty one. Stopped in line with big rocks to my left, and it was right. Paul jumped in ahead of me
4. P D P R 3 Paul set the pace as I dropped off by 5 seconds
5. P D P R 4 Kept high while Paul found it below me
6. P D P R 3 Just ran for the bare rock trying to get back on Pauls tail
7. P D P 4 +00:25Probably lost the race here but didn't realise it. A combination of very slow uphill and too far left.
8. P D P R 3 First of three fastest splits as I got some energy back on the downhill
9. P D P R 4 Passed Paul, he was too far right. The cliff was obvious
10. P D P R 3 Round the hill, my third fastest split in a row and I now had the overall lead with a 51 second lead over Geoff.
11. P D P R 4 +00:15Tricky control on a steep slope. Missed it below, Ted mpd on a control above. Paul back in front.
12. P D P R 4 Really dug deep to get back to Paul up the hill and then nipped in front as the boulder waved to me. Still overall leader by 19 seconds.
13. P D R 4 +00:30Disaster. Tried to run away from Paul. With only 500m to go in the course and this control in the open 100m from a fence on a 5m cliff I thought I couldn't miss it. I did. Shouldn't have crossed over the crest of the ridge.
14. P D P R 3 Back on track. Too late.
15. P D P R 3 All over - sprinting and Geoff 2 seconds quicker?
16. P D P R Geoff 1 second quicker - I must have been tired
F. P D P R Geoff 1 second quicker - I must have been tired

Total Time Lost - 00:01:15
