Event: NavDash 1 - Curtin University (South)
 

Hills ride with Muzz, Marcus and Richie, up Welshpool Rd and then Crystal Brook Rd where we overtook a group of 6 who had passed us earlier. Muzz broke his pedal clip, so we did the medium length variation, which was quite pleasant. I tailed Marcus up the Piesse Brook climb to Kala, and passed him after having sat behind him on the final flat, same way Tooms did to me a while back, certainly makes it an easier climb. Back at 910am including the Kala coffee, not wiped out, a worthy variation.

Reasonable run on a fun course. Lost a good amount of time in the first three controls, as Dolf and then Craig caught up. Then we seemed to keep up with Craig for the next 5 controls of so, and then he disappeared after we crossed over to the western half. Dolf and I matching pace for a good amount of time and then I passed him in the last third.

First time in the X-Talons which felt great, really light and grippy. Had trouble reading the red/purple colour on the map as usual. I thought it was a bit more difficult than normal with the extra amount of dark colours like green.
