Mt Ainslie North

yesterday morning's ride in from Kambah was ok..

the stats:
start temp/humidity: 13.8/80% (apparent temp same)
start time: 7:30am
total distance: 17.15
total time: 44:19 (including 0:35 stopped time)
avg speed: 23.2kph
total calories: 378
avg HR: 119

after work was the resumption of the Twilight O series...this one was held at Mt Ainslie North...

I did the Orange 1 (5.2k) course while Jodie did the Orange 2 (3.8k) course...the plan to get us to finish around the same time saw me leaving 2:36 ahead of Jodie...this was a full sportident course so no manual punches, all electronic visits...

all was going well until I was heading from #10 to #11...I attacked from my planned position (power poles) but completely lost my bearings and ended up drifting right, eventually finding #12 some 225m away from where I needed to be...once I realised my mistake (after punching in at #12) I managed to re-orient myself and get to #11 before returning to re-visit #12 (even if you "punch" the wrong control you can fix your mistake by visiting the correct control)...

I reckon that error cost me at least 10mins (although it felt like longer!)...I managed to find #13 and then the finish without any further problems...

Jodie finished in 52:45 (another good run for her) while I took 67:48...if you add on the handicap start to Jodie's time and take out my stuff up, the handicapping wasn't too far off...

we did several sequences of controls the same so we can compare time on those legs:

119 to 125 (controls 6-7 for me; 1-2 for Jodie) just over 1.1k

  • Me: 10:54
  • Jodie: 16:14

127 to 128 (controls 9-10 for me; 4-5 for Jodie) just over 250m

  • Me: 3:45
  • Jodie: 3:41

128 to 129 (controls 10-11 for me; 5-6 for Jodie) just over 550m and where I made my error!

  • Me: 17:37 (!)
  • Jodie: 7:40

131 to Finish (control 13-F for me; control 8-F for Jodie) just over 150m

  • Me: 1:12
  • Jodie: 1:24
