"Tallowa South", Tallong. M45AS / Hard 4: 2.6km, +85m, 12c. 2nd/3 in M45AS (5:57 behind Rob Bradley). 6th/30 in H4 (11:24 behind Garry Stewart). Very windy, 8°C. TE 3.7.
Another steep, scrubby course with lots of fallen branches underfoot. Bad legs on S-1 & 8-9 cost me a chance of a win. #1 - Drifted too far left. Hard to tell where you were on long straight rockface. Should have run parallel to road (lost 8'). #2 - Kept high to approach rocks from opposite direction along spur. #3/4/5/6 - All straight. #7 - Drifted a bit high to another set of rocks (-1:10). #8 - Straight. #9 - Ran up hill, crossed road, looking for gully. Disregarded first gully because the head didn't look right but I was too high and had to back track from the next gully (-5'). #10 - Back up to road and followed to back of rocks. #11 - Followed spur down to termite mound. #12 - Straight. #F - Ducked out to main road and cut across when banner sighted. Best legs: #2/3/8/F (1st/30). Best pos: 4th/30 (#8).
