Day 5 at the piggery, started in a bit of a rush again and hesitant to 1 and then didn’t get direction right to 2 and lost a min or so. This really set the tone for the rest of the run with quite a few scrappy little mistakes. Lots of others did the same though. Nice area, it’s been a long time since I ran on it and more rock than I remembered. Pretty stuffed after 5 days hard running, looking forward to a few easy days now

Day 5 Hard 1 - Splits

5days, day 4, snow hills. I knew it would be hard today and started carefully hitting the controls pretty well but cautiously. Got onto the more open area and relaxed a bit and made a 1min mistake which I followed up with a 3 min mistake to spoil the run. Topped it off by missing the last control in the circle! Great fun and challenging course though. Longer warmdown with Marty doing part of the course.

Day 4 Hard 1 - Splits

5 Days, day 3 Sutton forest. Mix of pine and bush with sandstone. Awkward course where it always felt like the other option track or forest was the right one. One big mistake where I got pulled by the lines of the pine and got 9 before 8. Just beat Marty again but only because he stopped to help Hayden.

Day3 Hard 1 - Splits

5 days, day 2 wollondilly bend. Steep spur gully, bit wayward on the first but then got going and felt alright running. Got better with the Orienteering as it went on and got Marty and grant but we’ll behind the brits.

Day 2 Hard 1 - Splits

Xmas 5 days day 1, sprint. Started in a bit of a rush and never got smooth. Turns out I punched a wrong control at one easy one where I thought I saw it from a distance and didn’t read the map. Would have been miles behind grant anyway.

Day 1 Hard 1 - Splits

Lap of black mtn with Andy and grant. Pretty cruisey pace and felt good.

Fast paced run around the pinnacle and up mt painter to finish.
