Sydney Sprint Ilinden Lakes (Brighton-Le-Sands).
Had time walking to the event from Rockdale Station to get it into my head that I needed to run hard from the start. Shingo started a minute ahead of me. Of course I couldn't find #1 on the map and ran to #13 (which would be a great 1st leg), then struggled with locating the banner at #2 and #5. So I didn't sight Mark until he was doing 6-7 and I was bumbling #5. Go him in my medium range scanners on 8-9, then we went opposite sides of the lake to 11 and I caught a little more but never made the gap. Fun.
Transport adventures - caught the B line down from Mona Vale, then was going to get a red rental bike but couldn't unlock it. While I was trying to use it, a local youth strolled up and took the yellow rental next to it which wasn't locked...
