The final race of the selection weekend saw competitors once again battling it out through dense green forest over tricky spur-gully terrain.
The mens race was tight, with three seconds separating Jamie and Oli. However Jamie actually caught Oli three minutes but then threw it away and only narrowly held on.
Heather had a more comfortable margin in the womens class, cruising round the tricky 3.9km course in 32 minutes.
