| Australian Relay Championships
1st with Ecmo and Julian
Running 2nd leg after Ecmo got dropped and came in 6th?
Surprised how quickly I caught most of the guys in front of me, I took a wide left route choice to 7 and when i got there no one else was in sight (didn't know there was a split in legs). Caught Murray running in the lead for the Cockies at 13, and decided running over the mountain to 15 was the best route. Happy with my run and good to pick up my 3rd title.

| 8th. Shep won in 78mins.
Well I can't really say how disappointed I was with today's run. Physically I felt really good- much better than the rest of the week. Had a great start, and didn't lose any time in first 8 controls. Caught Prong going to 9 (who proceeded to pull out), but missed the control by more then a minute. Had no idea what was going on after going thru the saddle prior to the control. 10,11 were ok until i caught Tane and proceeded to stupidly miss 12 by at least 90secs. 13, 14 ok and feeling fast but missed 15 in what was a dodgey bit of mapping. 16-20 were ok and still with Tane. Missed 21 cos i thought i was going thru a differnet saddle. Had no confidence to 22, 23 and no blood going to my brain for 24. Very stupid mistake losing another 2mins. 25 was ok, except i got to the correct control and misread the code, losing another min. 26-finish was good and pushed hard fortunately picking up a few places.
Started looking like a good day, but left my brain with my carboshotz wrapper at the spectator control.
My HR avg last year was 187- suspect lower this year due to more mistakes, and not quite as race fit |

| JWOC Middle distance Final- Dhaadyiwa
It was bloody cold this morning. Missed 30secs or so on #1. Jules caught me going to 3 and I tried hard to stick with him. Lost contact at 7 and slowed a little allowing Prong to catch back up (already passed him). Ran the rest of the course well, but not particularly fast. Good run, but just a bit sloppy at the start. |

| JWOC spectator course. I'd run in the morning but was keen to do the race- until i started. Made a mistake on 1, and got caught by Rune and Ryan. Quickly lost motivation and was pretty tired. Pulled out at the spectator leg cos I'd already run the rest of the course |

| JWOC Middle Distance Qualification Heat B
An ok run, felt very awkward in the difficult terrain. Lost 2mins on a very stupid and typical mistake, thinking I was at 9, and exited in wrong direction cos I was still at 8. Caught back up to Prong who was running Heat A near the end and held him off on the long finish chute. In total lost about 3mins and missed qualifying by about 20secs |
