Event: SMOC Silver Lake
 

Great season opener from Team Kiwi. Highlights for me: S-1, 4-5, 5-6 (trickiest, was very cautious), 6-7 (green as route obstacle....I've always wanted to do it, and here it was very well played - how far off line can you go and still bring it back to catch that confusing backside of the hill), and 9-10 (trying not to get pushed around that hill...do you cross the little trail correctly?)

11-12 nearly broke me - trivial navigation but I wanted <10:00/km so I need to keep shuffling through.

AP shows mistake free - sounds about right. I planned some routes to #3, I may have inspected a flag en route to 5 (not far out of the way), and was a little sluggish to 7, and peeked at the wrong ditch @ 10, but nothing egregious - hard to be bad when you are moving so slowly.

If the coworker noticing my weight wasn't a wake up call, maybe not being faster today is.

C • I managed to beat you only ... 2

Red - Splits

Curious what turnout will be for Silver lake.

39 line items, some of which are teams spread over lines, so sub 40 starts as of 2 pm (early bird cut off).

I was kind of hoping for 80. We ran a two week event-specific ad, lots of bump posts, several emails.....

Maybe some are happy to pay extra to watch the weather.
