Event: HOC Winter Evening Event (WEE)
 

8.369km with 159m climb in 0:58:56. HOC WEE Old hills. Quite a maze of controls with no lines between them. Took a bit of time before I spotted number 1. Normal trying to keep out of the wood as much as possible here. Struggling to see features against green 1:10 000. Extra gate at 10 coursed some confusion. Lost time at 15 which was misplaced as well. 2 controls short of clearing but a bit slower than Dave Williams. Needed to be running a good nit quicker to get last 2.

9.642km with 179m climb in 0:59:05. Bok training Hanham. Thought I would be by myself but Teresa came along and kept me all to honest. No stopping to wait and a good pace. Went out east to ring road and then south to river. Some slow bits getting down steep slop as ended up on backside. Different slightly earlier path up to hill and then cutting back shorter as getting knackerd.

36.233km with 924m climb in 2:05:16. Long way to go for what was shortened to 2 hours due to weather. Snowing but not sticking down at start, interesting but ridable high up. strong easterly wind needed to be planed for. Too hot for most with Buffalo shirt on but glad for it into the wind for final bits.

Stuck to road as much as possible. 3, miss read description for 7 looking for finger post but was fence post 3-4 mins lost (edit make that 5 having looked at GPS) as went past, tape had also come off. 12, being blowen up to high point for 2 nice descent for 1, 11, muddy out and back for 17. Decided to skip 13 was slow up hill into wind and I was initially unsure I was right. Batteling flat into wind even going down for 9. Snow in face awkward down to 6 then final slog up for 5 as main road oob all knowing going to be late.

Just a bit slow overall 13 and 20 would of made a decent score. 10 mins quicker and no mistake needed. Results out and this is exactly what Killian did although he had a different loop though the initial stuff.
