Standing around the assembly area the three amigos, Linda (Chief Amigo), Dave (Checker Amigo) and Ron (Lacky Amigo) made the decision that it was not going to rain much and decided against putting up tents. Well we ended up running the event out of the back of cars.
Dave taking entries through the drivers window, Linda ran the start standing under a tree and Ron ran the finish from the back of the Prado. It worked and we even managed to add results
Whilst the misty rain was annoying for the 3 Amigos the 48 competitors did not seem to mind. However those who came later found the going from controls 18-23 a little slippery.
Fleet of foot Andrew Hill won the day in 14.11 with German import Freddy Burghardt 33 seconds behind. 3rd place was Uringa's fastest Ondrej Pavlu.
Uringa Results:

Sprint events are as much about speed as keeping your wits about you. With twists and turns and controls coming at you at a fast rate of knots it is easy to miss controls. I have seen it at World Championship levels
Jim had a really strong run but alas came unstuck on control 23 a power pole just 15 metres from the finish.
Uringa's next club event is on Wednesday 29th January Mort bay Park, McKell Street Birchgrove.
This will be a big event with over 200 runners expected. Help will be needed. From 3.30pm onward
