Ran 2nd leg in the Australian Relay Champs with Tom (1st) and Matt. Went out in 3rd place about 8 minutes back. Saw 2nd place ACT on the way to the 2nd control (had caught ~2min) and passed him going to 4. Then I had a longer split way down the hill and I was passed again, so I had dropped 1min behind 2nd by the spectator. Then I caught them both on the climb up to 9, and managed to sneak into the lead going to 11 with a slightly different route-choice. Held it until the finish, but only just. Matt couldn't hold off Craney and we finished 2nd behind ACT. Felt pretty exhausted after 5 but the adrenaline fired back up after I got into the lead at the end. Fairly clean, just a bit of hesitation going into 3 (higher may have been better; full speed no mistakes) and 7
