M21E @ Belair - GPS says 18.73km

What an epic. I fell off the back of the pack much earlier than I'd hoped when I fluffed #5 on the first loop. Contact with the map was much better after that anyway. About 3 maps left on the line as I went through the map change - but they may have been DNS's.

Only had a couple of small errors throughout the rest - the worst of which involved going down a near vertical slope only to realise I couldn't get through the blackberries at the bottom and had to climb out again.

Managed to beat 14 non-finishers and a couple of M20E finishers to make it a clean sweep of not being DFL all weekend.

That being said, it will definitely be my DFL long run in M21E, with a only small chance of doing any more M21E at all.

Discussion Topic: Are female elites made of tougher stuff than male elites? A look at today's results across M/W20E & 21E would suggest that they most definitely are!

C • Retirement 9

Course 1 BAB - Splits

Event: Adelaide NOL
 

Goal achieved. Not DFL but not a great run either. My counting skills weren't up to scratch on the first leg where I went to the left of the third building instead of the second one. A couple of minutes wasted doing a headless chook impression. Got a bit trapped in shades of green coming out of 3, that I probably could have just crossed.

The rest was all good. Weirdly enough I dead heated with the guy I started with.

Looking forward to running again this afternoon.

Last starter in the slow boys race. Much cleaner run, only one small mistake on the way to 9. Picked up an earlier starter at 6 and we stayed together through numerous different route choices all the way to the finish.

Not DFL again!!

Tomorrow is going to hurt.

1B - Splits

Course 1 - Splits

Goal for this weekend - not to come DFL in at least one of the races.

Achievable? We shall wait and see.

C • Does DNF count below DFL? 18
