MTB 1:49:22 [3] 25.38 km (4:19 / km) +618m 3:50 / km
ahr:145 max:169
Meetings and site inspection around Mudgee for a couple of days. Early enough finish today to get in a couple of hours of riding at Mudgee common. Lucky my bike was in the car.
Seems to be a lot of tracks but no signs so a bit confusing to know where you are and where you've already been. Majority of track is on a base of loose rock so a bit slippery on corners at times.
Some steep hills with steep tracks. Hard to motivate to ride to the top when just exploring and they didn't look like they'd be fun on the way down anyway.
Mostly enjoyable and recommended for a ride if passing through.

NSW Sprint Champs. Second to Malcolm again. Lost time on 3, couldn't make track match quickly, 7 didn't pick correct track but could see control from track I was on so only small time loss, 8 stuck behind few riders so went to far end an came back, 12 changed route choice on way to try to get past couple of other riders then didn't execute correctly, 13 at right place but couldn't see control for a few seconds.

NSW Middle Champs - Sunny Corner. Second to Malcolm again. Lost time on 4 mostly from hesitating on route choice, 7 vegetation wasn't what I was expecting from map and pre-start instruction, 8 tracks leaving 7 and having to think about map error, 11 lost concentration, needed a rest, drink and food on the way up the hill.

Event: NSW MTBO Championships
1 PM
MTBO race 1:25:14 [5] 23.57 km (3:37 / km) +549m 3:14 / km
ahr:157 max:172
NSW MTBO Champs long distance. Second by about 2 minutes to Malcolm. Difficult to motivate to push hard on the up hills. No navigation issues. Lost nearly 2 minutes on route choice 7-8 and missed turn to finish so lost small amount of time. Malcolm also missed and didn't realise losing about 4 minutes so could have been well ahead.
