 | Adventure Race race (Teva Champs) 4:43:00 [4] | |
| |
| with Kathryn and Ben (thanks for a good race team)
2nd by 2mins to Mountain Designs.
We had a pretty good race and got screwed by a dodgy checkpoint with about an hour to go. Lost 10-15mins when we were leading by at least 10mins. Caught back up and got in front, but couldn't hold MD's off on the final ride. We ran really well, but there wasn't much running, far more MTB.
Course was pretty good, map was mostly good and challenges were ok. Just a shame I can't seem to finish in front when it counts. Looks like I'll need to sell the surf ski since I bought it with the prize money from this race.
Can't really be arsed writing much so checkout Ben's report

| shoes: Fenn Millennium |
| Tried different beach today- Warriewood. Was some small waves coming in, but got out ok. Then headed north to Newport beach. Got in and out there ok and headed home. Was fun paddle cos had the wind behind for first half, and swells to chase coming back. Bit off a bit too much and headed out thru Warriewood break again. Got hit hard by the last wave and was knocked out. Struggled to get back on, panicked and fell out about 3 times. Fortunately there was a lull in the waves and I didn't get smashed. Could a nice wave back in. |

| Afternoon paddle in my new (2nd hand) surfski- a Fenn Millenium. Was a bit of a breeze and swell, but quite nice. Went from Fishermans, around Long Reef, onto Dee Why beach and back, with a few extra out and backs. Felt good, and with a bit of training I'm sure I'll feel more comfortable. |

| After a bloody hot day, a change come through and it was a really pleasant ride home. Did expect it to storm at any time, but never did. Came back via Akuna Bay and felt ok, but judging by the gears I was using I couldn't have been going that fast. A bit of a tail wind made the 2nd half nice and fun. |
