Australian Relays at Hill end in a NSW M60 team with Geoff Todkill and Mel Cox. Geoff was 1st runner and came back hot on the heals of Rod Vincent in the NSW 1 team, Mel kept us in 2nd holding off Vic's Ted van G. I started well but poor route choice at 6 and 7 saw Geoff Lawford put the Vic's in front of me. I then saw NSW 1's Tony Woolford just ahead of me at the spectator control and realised I was still running for 2nd place. I made a real mess of 12 so thought all was lost however Tony made a major error is the last loop and I came home in 2nd place. Scrappy run but happy with final outcome.

Long champs at Hill End. Best run I've had since the B Final at the World Masters in NZ in April. No nav errors to speak of but lack of confidence (and terrain fitness) lead me to choosing the track option 4-5 which turned out to be a bit slower than the straight line. Still very pleased with 3rd place behind Ted and Mel.

Aus Long Course 12 - Splits

Morning long run along the river in Mudgee.

Totally stuffed the 1st control taking more than 6 minutes on a 200m leg. Playing catch up from there and then missed 6 badly. Mel caught me there and we were together for most of the rest until he got away at the end. Have to improve in next weeks long and relays! Garmin died completely during the race
