another really good area.
lost a little bit of time on route choice to number 13, and started to slck off on the planning ahead towards the end.
Might have been tempted to run a bit faster this weekend if it wasnt as wet.
Still so much fun though

Easily the best area off the whole weekend (will get some maps up when i get home).
Had a strong hold on the green and I was pretty keen to put in a solid race overall so this stage was it for me.
I had a pretty good run overall. Not much time lost apart from a few areas where I lost contact from planning ahead.

Highlight of the stage was Olles intense hill climb-off at the end!

warm up

Event: Super Long World Champs III
 

warm up for all the races

Didnt start off too well for this. Lost a bit of time in the forest early on and couldnt get much speed up after a dominant sprint leg followed by the hill climb leg.
Another awesome area though, still soo much fun

Another not so great run but my focus was mainly on the sprint leg which was some crazy downhill through the vineyard.
Got pushed around a lot by the blackberries in the forest towards the end.
Then slipped a bit in the finish chute but still held on to the green.

Found it really hard to keep up with the navigation on this one.
Was mostly downhill and I was feeling good (strangely) so a high pace of nav.
So was a bit sloppy on most of the legs which cost me a fair bit of time. And didnt even score any points on the sprint legs!

Event: Sprint-the-Bay
 

Set out with some good pace and flow. Missed the route to number 4 through the green which i thought was impassable which cost a big 40sec. It got pretty tough in the middle part of the course where most of the buildings were - hard to keep reading ahead.
Stopped before the sprint leg to check out my route - it was in a crazy maze a lot like the rosegardens in canberra.
And also walked for about 20m before the finish chute to ensure the green jersey was mine.

Really good area and an awesome course. Had a good run all up apart from a few route choice errors
