 | MTB race (Yellowmundi) 1:59:30 [4]36.0 mi (3:19 / mi) | |

| Cross Country race with Western Sydney MTB.
I was happy to race B grade (4laps), but surprisingly Dari said we should do A grade (5laps). Didn't go to hard on the first lap, but the pace was much faster than i was capable of today (particular after late night on the turps). After 3 laps (71.30) I realised I had a chance to break 2hrs so i kept working hard to the end. Happy I was able to keep my lap times consistent.Quads felt a bit crampy, but never got too bad. Pretty buggered at the end. |

| MTBO race. Had about 2.5hrs break between races. Felt really tired, but not so bad when i got started. Right knee a bit sore. 1:5000 map and 21 controls, with lots of crossing over the same paths. It was a bit easier for me since i knew the area reasonable well. Lost lots of time to Darvo (54mins) on about 4 legs where he cut thru yellow clearings (apparently allowed) where i continued around the tracks. But i wouldn't have come close to him today.
Really good fun. If only mtbo was always like this.
I'll sleep well tonight |

About 85 competitors which is a pretty good turnout.
Not much help for the Stingers though who were scattered throughout the country. |
