Back at "The Gib" for the Aust Relays. Lucky to be picked in the #1 NSW M55 team with Rob V and Oing. They ran great 1st and 2nd legs leaving me about 5 minutes ahead of the Vics 3rd runner (Geoff Lawford!). I had my doubts that was going to be enough and messing up #1 big time confirmed my fears. Long leg and tracked it well almost to the circle then lost map contact and stuffed around for 8 to 10 minutes before I finally got it - Garmin route tells the sad story! Was determined to do better from then on, pushed hard and no mistakes but damage was done. Geoff ran a blinder and I would not have held him out even with a clean run but frustrating just the same.
