MTBO 1:57:48 [4]
Goat Farm MTBO
Too late for the mass start so head out after the pack. Head off to #1 with the intention of taking the low road underneath the quaries. Unfortunately made on wrong turn early so to get to the right track I headed down a steep slope. I jamed the front brakes and ended up over the handle bars, diving to the right to avoid the bike on top of me. A bit shaken it takes a while to recover. I guess thats what happens when you dont ride a mountain bike for a few months. For #2 I dropped to the railway and was only 1 sec off the fastested pace. OK for 6,7,8,9 but could have been faster. Too high at 10 followed someone elses track through the grass. Went too high for 12 and took a minute + to work out where I was. Best Time for #13 due to a small advantage for previously doing the mapping (although 9 years ago). To #18 went over the top walking a lot of the way. Round the base may have been quicker. Finished off with a spectacular crash 5m before the finish. The track had been damp and muddy every where except here and I took the corner too fast. A very bruised and grazed right side

Cycling 1:48:20 [4] 51.6 km (28.6 kph)
After watching the disapointing Eagles I head out for a ride. I decide to finish with the wind so headed south first. Hard work all teh way. Turned at Leighton Beach and headed up the coast. Nothing like a tail wind to make it easier and increase the speed to +38kph between Floriet and scarbro.

Not rushed this morning so I take the high road to work via weaponess road. Tried to take the middle of the lane around rooundabouts for safety but still twice someone tried to pass me on the bend and cut me off. Super annoying.

Was going to do extra km home but it was just too cold so via the fwy at a very reasonable pace without drafting or wind assistance

Cycling 1:12:00 [4] 31.0 km (25.8 kph)
Day off work - head out for a ride in the afternoon only to find a strong headwind as I go south and unpleasant riding conditions made worse by a climb to the top of Karrinyup. After completing an errand at the O shed I head south but soon changed my mind and shortened the trip due to the constant but light showers and the promise of more lining up to the south
