Possum Trot VIII, Camp Naish, December 5, 2004

Comments by Michael Eglinski

I ran the Possum Trot today and had a decent race. Check out the results if you are really interested.

The map below show my routes (click on the image for higher resolution).

The Trot is a mass start race. To spread the field and give something extra to think about you are allowed to skip any two controls. I saved my skips until the very end when I skipped 22 and 23.

The course was relatively short at 12.8 km with no skips. But the forest is a bit thick, slowing the times (Mike Platt's ran a tick under 7:30/km). We started in cool, but dry weather. But by the time I'd reached 12 it had begun to rain. The rain made the rocks bit slippery.
