Event: NSW State League #1/2
 

Event: Sydney Sprint Weekend
 

Sprint relay at Sydney uni, good runs from Lisa & Andy sent me out not far after Parto, Qld & Nomads, and I managed to overhaul the latter two by halfway and just hold off Andrew Barnett on the final loop on what was a reasonable run. Local knowledge certainly helped, so while I maybe didn't always choose the optimum routes on 51/49 choices I made decisions quickly and hit the controls easily so didn't lose much time.

From the further of the first controls I missed the right hand route to two, the left route longer and slightly slower but not sure anyone with this forking went back up the stairs, Aiden went right halfway through and was only 7s quicker, so there wasn't too much in it. The tunnel being closed while annoying, almost made the leg better (were it not for its appearance on the map drawing everyone left and making much more of a difference in the women's splitting).

Got 5 wrong, reversing out of 4 and along the road was massively oversimplifying and was my only major time loss of about 10s, then from 9 onwards it was all about running speed which I was lacking, and I started to struggle with that a little towards the end.

Good fun hit out though, and a decent 6th place, one up from last year's two 7th places in relays.
