Day 1 of the final round of Silva Superseries saw resounding wins from Ross Morrison in both races; by 3 minutes from Simon Uppill in the long 14km at Woodhill, and by 30 seconds from young Tim Robertson. Kate Morrison was winner at the long by an emphatic 7 minutes, and Angela Simpson at the sprint.
Ross, after his first win: "It was fun. I've been training on Muriwai at night recently - I've had 11 night training sessions lately - so it was good to be able to see more than 30m, and on a better map. It helped a lot."
"I just tried to stay in contact with the map as much as possible - good practice for France where it's superdetailed. If I can't do it here I definitely can't do it over there."
The complex of numerous portable classrooms at Massey Campus provided the venue for the second Superseries race where sprint masters Morrison and Simpson revelled in the tricky course and slippery racing.
Ross's 4th and 5th series wins leave him in a great position to take out the overall title again, with two more races to count. Likewise, Angela's 4th win gets her closer to a second title but she will have to run well against Amber Morrison over the last two races at Woodhill.
