| OY2 at Mt Vernon. Biked to and from the event. Quite a nice course considering it's on farmland. One dodgy control where I lost about 3-4mins. The control was about 10 vertical metres above where it was marked on the map and nothing really matched up. Also managed to go off the map at another control and lost about 7mins. Wasn't accurate enough coming into the control circle and then went off the edge of the map and everything looked the same as where I should have been. The rest of the course went okay, need to run more aggressively in the farmland.
Chris Forne managed 49mins or so, so i'm quite a bit slower than the winners time. |

| Up Dyers, along tops to Gebbies then round the bottom to Lyttleton and then back along the tops to Dyers and down. With Chris, Michael, Em and Ian F.
Lovely rain the whole way, not too bad actually so quite fun. Legs still feel a bit tired especially on the longer hills.
Not sure of the exact distance as my speedo stopped working due to the rain after about 40mins. |

| Short Bays with some added extras. Went with Michael and Chris. We did a little side trip up Bridle Path road which is nice and steep. Then from top of Evans we went up to Mt Pleasant and home via Em's place. Food and water stop there. Nice tail wind home, was doing 47km/h for a while. |

| Pairs training out at Bottle Lake. Was pretty good, fast running but I made a slight mistake in route choice going to one of the controls and also lost contact with the map slightly on another control.
Pretty happy all up though. |

| Road Bike 5:00:00 [4]125 km (2:24 / km) | |

| Long Bays bunch ride then at top of Evans along to SoK then down to Governors Bays and then back around to Gebbies, up along the summit road and down Mt Pleasent and then back home around the hills at the bottom. Lots of climbing and tired legs now. Felt okay spinning up the hills but when my cadence dropped down to about 70 or less I started to struggle a little bit. Only Chris, Em and I did the extra loop.
Good to do a longer ride though. |
