Melbourne Sprint Weekend Race 5
Sprint Distance
Royal Park
9th in M21E
I really could not have done much more on this race, apart from perhaps run faster. I hit everything spot on. I made a small direction error on the last control, but I was chasing Konsta hard and the splits say that I lost no time.
Unfortunately there was a problem on course 2 with 2 SI units being placed in the wrong stands, which impacted the Senior Boys and a couple of others, before being fixed prior to the W21 class coming through.
I am not sure that adjusting times of the Senior Boys was the right thing to do. I have always been told in every event adviser course I have attended that, no matter how tempting it may be to adjust times, this is never the correct thing to do. As it impacted the majority of the Senior Boys class, I think that it should have been declared a "no race" for them.
