tough day at the office.
while i havent really done a sceric of training in the last month (bar NSW champs and riding to uni) i was feeling confident for this race and motivated to do well. bit frantic before the start, forgetting my gel and nearly being late, but had a good start (won the first split) and a little error on 2 but then the next few tricky short ones went well. went hard on the long leg, taking the left valley route and caught a glimpse of matt ogden. thought i would track him down after that but didnt see him. lost about a minute on 8, but got my focus back.
minute slower than fastest split on long leg to #11, but saw moggy again there and was with him at #12. then we traded blows with each other until the finish. matt was definitely running harder in the forest than me so i was a little lucky to run with him.
