Australian Long at Split Rock Cootamundra. I could have done better here, probably not won it, but could have been closer. Not really many mistakes but a bit sloppy at times and really sluggish to start.

Kept getting confused by W45s. Cathy McC caught up to me going up a hill and made me feel very unfit with her speed, but it turns out she wasn't doing to ridiculous uphill slog on her course. The I kept seeing Jenni A at all sorts of random angles before we ran much of the end together. Given the earlier randomness I ignored her, thinking she was having a very bad day, but in fact she was on a different course.

Some epic climbing today.

3rd to Barbara and Jenny.

Course 12 - Splits

Event: Oceania 2019
 

Oceania sprint at Charles Sturt university. A bit sad not to get to run up on the hillside (though not sad that I missed out on climbing the hill in front of spectators!). I went OK and better than expected for this. Only 2 real mistakes - once I went to an underneath of bridge rather than top - even though I had picked it as being at the top, just forgot that part way through the leg when I thought I'd found a faster route than the one I was doing. The next major time loss was a small path direct to 10 that I did not see. I almost need a degree larger magnification in glasses for sprint maps!

Very impressed with my focus. A lot of people lost time at the control in the start area and the next one. I did not even realise I'd been back through there until I was watching the mayhem while manning the start later on.

Totally failed at silent start - both when starting myself and for others :). I don't think anyone minded!

2nd to Barbara after Jenny MP'd. Missed 9 which was easy to do given it was very near 6.

Course 8 - Splits

Just a short run after yesterday's efforts. Surprisingly feeling OK (muscle-wise) but I think quite tired and dehydrated. 2 coffees helped.

Not sure what happened to watch. Stopped short for some reason.
