Gauteng long distance champs. Rather a mediocre run with errors on half the controls and one major error at 13. Still came third which is what I expected by now 3 Junior girls beat me!

Pat first and Ian second.

Event: Gauteng Champs
 

Gauteng Middle distance on a new map at Hennops. First 6 controls were quite technical and fairly close. Made small errors on the first two controls but spiked the rest up to #8. Last bit of the course was hard running over difficult terrain. Horrid little odd shaped rocks hiding in the grass. Fell heavily on the way to #10 ( one of many fallers on the day).

Was happy with the run with I guess less that 60 seconds errors. In end I won by 2 minutes from Ian and about 5 from Pat giving me my first Gauteng champs win!

C • Well Done on Gold 1

Randburg time trial. Felt really good and enjoyed the run.

Event: JWOC Fundraiser
 

Had to identify the flag at each control. Each wrong answer was a 30 second penalty. All flags were very easy so did not have any penalties. Writing the answer at each point took some time but gave me a chance to rest then sprint to the next control.

RAC Time Trial Started a bit fast and got the pain in my chest. Backed off and did first 3ks in 18min. Took some short cuts and stopped at 4k. Must warm up before running!
