Well another DNF over the long course. Although I am close to being ready for long course. Walked all the way through to 3, should have dropped elevation out of 2 where there was better running. Clean through to 4 then couldnt find a way down to 5. Cost me time here and then dropped the loop out to 6 through 11. 5 to 12 then long road run from 13 to 14 and good run through the remaining controls. 6 through 11 would have taken me another 30 mins easily.

Happy with my nav, fairly straight forward course. Bit low on 1, bit to the right on 2, talking about maybe 10-15 secs lost on each. Physically struggled up to 6 then onto 7 and out of 7 up the hill(having some back problems..) once up the hill got going again, clean through the short controls 8-9-10-11(only 8 I was a little left but corrected quickly) 12,13,14 good running leading a few runners trailing behind, heaps hanging around my 15, 16 control. 17 on the money and then home. Need more fitness. Had a couple of good weeks training. Need to loose weight fast.
