Mountain Bike Orienteering race (QLD Long Champs) 2:32:35 [4] *** 25.0 km (6:06 / km) +230m 5:50 / km
spiked:18/19c shoes: Giant XTC 2
Didnt think it was possible but fucked the first one again. Put my map on the map board but didnt even thing about orientating it. Took off for a km in the wrong direction before i decided to whip the compass as nothing was fitting. Had to ride straight past the start again which was worse. Got into a good rhythm after that and was riding really well. But on the way up the hill to 12 my chain broke and i spent ages there trying to fix it. dont know how long or why it took me that long but my race was definitely over by then if not by the first one. Cruised through the last couple of controls cause couldnt be fucked going hard out. Good weekend i had.
Note
When I was hanging at the finish with all the other cool people like kezza, ian and matt you could here this car speeding towards us. Next thing theres a big screech of tyres and a loud crash and all this dust in the air just over the crest of the hill. Everyone just runs in that direction and we find some tool who was out drifting has rolled his ute. Somehow he escaped unscathed but his ute was farked. Pretty funny
