Solo century from Wollongong to Bundanoon over Macquarie Pass. Great climb and good route... a lot less stressful traffic than i was expecting. Smashed it up the climb, finishing my pie at the top before the people i passed arrived. was pretty shattered later on in the ride, mostly due to the heat. Energy didn't quite hold up as well as i'd like in prep for cradle training, but legs felt good.

SSS Longueville. Probably my worst SSS, mostly my fault. Map was setup well, with choices based around contours, and a nice ultrasprint section, making for an interesting run. I struggled in the ultrasprint section but got through slowly
My BIG mistake in terms of route choice, underestimating contours to 19 (or was it actually higher on the hill than mapped?) and had to adjust everything.
Returned via a trail which was closed (signs/donotenter tape) but not mapped as OOB about 5cm from the finish and lost about 4 minutes bushbashing. Finished back 7 minutes late, and missing 2 controls.
Question Even now when i look at the map, I can't discern between a "cliff" and a "vehicle track"... why does a vehicle track need to be marked differently from a road or trail? it is irrelevant information, and just makes it look like a cliff... no? I can attribute 4 controls where i lost real time guessing incorrectly.

Recovery run had the shits at work so got myself running. Crazy hard to move, only partially due to the heat. good to get the legs moving again though, but will take it easy for the rest of the week.
