NavDash - Sprint Race at Curtin University
Good course by Ken Brownlie and a good field of runners on a nice cool day after the morning showers had passed.
Was a bit hesitant at the start not wanting to make a dumb error from the start. Rob West started a minute behind me and I saw him coming into #5, which was about half way around, as I was leaving and I thought I was going to have trouble holding him off in the 2nd half. Rob managed to get ahead of me at around #10 or 11. We both got caught up in the underpass / bridge between #13 & #14 which was quite tricky to read, so I missed a chance there to steal a few seconds, most people had the similar problem.
I was behind Rob at the last control but he ran out the wrong way and I managed to finish a couple of strides ahead of him to only lose by 59seconds rather than 1:01
Nice race and ended mid field
