  8. In fact Kathryn's finish was even better than I thought. From controls 11-F (her last 5 minutes), Kathryn was 26 seconds faster than the winner! Her splits were awesome, possibly some of the best series of legs ever seen by an Australian at WOC level.
    Splits with leg placing in brackets.
    1.02 (1) 0.17 (2) 0.28 (1) 1.04 (1) 0.22 (2) 0.31 (3) 0.44 (2) 0.33 (3)

    I'm looking forward to watching the relay.
