| |
| 1st real bush O for years,Soph and Hunter came out as well,Soph did H4 and did very well and i did H3.Most of the time i just ran and hoped control was there though did use alot of the features to help get some where near the control area,was never far off though.Set the compass now on then to generally point me in the right direction but not used while running,need alot of practice learning that at the moment
Stuffed up some pretty easy legs.Was either good today or shocking.Going to get better at this if its the last thing i do.Gee even MTBJen beat me.Like to compare splits with others.
Enjoyed the day anyway and the weather was perfect,for me anyway.

| Road bike (Elite cycles group) 2:02:31 [3] 62.21 km (1:58 / km) | |
| |
| Decided to give the Elite cycles bike shop as they were just down the road from me a go.Was interesting and different as they go quite a few places like from Riverside drive/Mounts bay,Winthrop out to Shenton Park, Perry Lakes up Oceanic,West Coast to North Freo,Mosman park Chidley hill,Claremont,Nedlands,Mounts Bay,City.
On the way they have set points for sprints and hill climbs comps.
Only draw back is there was quite a few traffic lights along the way and we seemed to get alot of reds which brings down the average speed at the end of the ride.Was a good solid pace in between though. |
| Metro Orienteering race (Minim Cove(4)) 26:06 [4] | |
| |
| Metro nav dash race.Should of run of what i know of the area and not the map as knew were all places that were on there with out using the map to nav.Confused myself on the way to 2 by twisting the map and not trusting myself when i was going the right way.Game over !! in this company.
Good course and well set.Think listening to Rob,Craig and Fletch about the course put a few demons in my head before i started.Tricky?couple of minor bits of the map.Good though there is good competion out there between all.Rob showed that falling across the finish line knacked.
Thanks to all those that set and helped run the event J,J and co. |
