Event: Golden Harvest Middle Distance
 

0920 - The 3rd CC event of the season. Golden Harvest 1:7'500. Middle Distance. Had a fair run, with no major mistakes, just not fast enough. Was first with Eugene +3 min and Garry M 3rd.

Course 1 - Splits

1030 - Canoe race on the Trichardspruit. 15th K1 (127%) overall. I had a poor start on the upper dam, getting off the water well back in the field, but portaged well into the upper river. Then caught a lot more people who messed up in the river (I still believe it's the best river on the highveld). Only got overtaken by 1 guy, who I had just passed higher up. Only negetive was that I damaged my boat's nose on rock #1 at rapid #1.... so much for a virgin boat. Will require a quick repair at Robbie's. Drive to the venue took exactly 2hrs. Also noted that I was ranked 'E' before the race... ouch! Need to do more races!

0830 - Trail run from the house along the footslopes of the Mythen. Despite it being a bit of a contour run, still plenty of steep trails. 2nd half was easier when we dropped down to Schwyz and ran back on the lower slopes.

0915 - Rode with Liz from Seewen, Switzerland on a borrowed bike. Went up the Mythen from Schwyz to Mostelberg. Lots of climb, 600m to 1200m ASL. Then back home via Sattel.
