Easy ride around Grafton tracks with Greg. Breaking up the drive home. Morning tea break. Bit sticky from a morning shower. Greg tired out quickly. My leg feeling the weekends racing as well.

MTBO race 1:33:17 [4] 22.63 km (4:07 / km) +313m 3:51 / km
ahr:149 max:166
QLD MTBO Champs Long.
Second to DuncS by 41s. One route choice near the end cost twice that. I'll blame the track mapping but as it was late in course should have known better by then.
Got the overall win by less than 30s.

Event: Qld MTBO Championships
9 AM
MTBO race 28:44 [4] 9.24 km (3:07 / km) +33m 3:03 / km
ahr:158 max:172
Queensland MTBO Champs Sprint. Probably a no result race as a control was missing for most competitors. Was apparently locked to small tree but was removed and thrown in bush. Found by a later competitor and put back.
Compared valid splits with Tony and Duncs and would have won by about 1 min based on those.
Disappointing that people do that. Wonder why anyone was at the location anyway.
Two poor route choices. One not seeing uncrossable fence 20s to Duncs, the other much further than it looked at first glance 40s to Duncs.

MTBO race 49:56 [4] 9.75 km (5:07 / km) +122m 4:49 / km
ahr:155 max:172
QLD MTBO Champs Middle. GPS says 49.56 but official time was 51.55 so I think the start times were 2 minutes out.
First about 2 minutes ahead of Duncs.
Very windy, hilly and complex single track. Confused a few times about where I was. Probably lost 2 minutes going to 6, didn't pay enough attention to one way tracks and discovered half way through route I couldn't get there legally the way I planned, had to plan a different way. Lost another 30s missing a vague/hard to see turn on way to 8.
