Evening event out at Nigel's.
Dave and I didn't want to race, but as time went along, we may have tried :)
dave lead for the 1st 2, then a slight mistake at 3, gave Ilka the lead, by 5, we had got back to the front, Dave missed 6, and I lead, but through the next 7/8 controls, Dave started to pull away, and I was happy to let him have it.
But as we left the 2nd last, Dave made his biggest mistake of the night, so I took the lead, then tried to make it hard for Dave to get pass me. Got the last, 1st, then of to the finish (it was a navigate to finish) got the line good, but Dave was up beside me, he got his hand on the finish 1st, but I managed to push his hand aside, and get my SI to record first.
We agreed to call it a draw.
Nice conditions, so different to last year, long green grass made it hard to see the rocky ground
