spiked:23/24c shoes: Brooks Adrenaline GTS7
Oceania sprint championships. Was pretty rusty and took quite a while to find the start triangle on the map, and for the first 5 or so controls was taking it pretty steadily but felt like I was getting better as I went on. Sebba caught me about then and was moving at least as fast as I was so I hung on trying to keep map contact. In the bush section I followed Sebba too far right looking to cross a track. I'd seen the control but thought it was lower than we should be and must be the next one. So a bit of messing about probably added a minute to the times. Sebba tired a bit and I got back in front when he made a mistake around 21, I did a poor route choice to 24 so didn't manage to get away again. Was good to race again and now looking forward to tomorrow.
