Relay race at Biricka. Raced Brad and Tim around 3 two km loops.

First loop started fast. We traded first place for the first 3 controls. Brad managed to pull ahead after tim ran to far left and i ran within a metre of the control before running on. He disappeared into the bush after I got confused by a clearing just off the map and Tim tried to re-locate. Lost Tim after the next control and pulled off a second. Felt positive about my first loop besides slowing down on my way to control four.

Second loop started off with a fast control just off the path. Gauged the distance well and hit the control well. Feeling good heading off to two. It was in the middle of a low visibility and slow running forest. Overshot the control but managed to hit it spot on after re-locating. Had a great course from there on hitting the controls spot on. Brad followed me into my number four, not noticing that the control he was meant to punch was 100m further in a similar area of forest (hopefully none of us do this in the relay and get disqualified). Finished the course in first.

Third loop wasn't great. After a solid first control I headed way to far left to two giving Tim a massive lead. Was slow for the rest of the course but maintained contact with the map. Couldn't find a stake at one off the controls and wasted about three minutes checking I was in the right
place. Was sure I was in the right place and brad confirmed, I'm so used to thinking i'm in the right place and not being that i continued looking for that long.

Pulled out of the last loop as I felt a blister starting on my heel. Tim was the only one to do it so he won it quite convincingly.
