Terrain run up on Bruce Ridge until it got dark and then back on tracks and roads.

PTE 3.4

Easy course with Ewan at The Pinnacle. He wasn't very enthused today.

Orange 1 course by myself; courses set by Shep so above average quality but he forgot to misplace any. Had a good punt around. When I started, I thought the course was only 3.9km (why hasn't someone pulled those misleading labels off the control card box?) so was treating it a bit like a sprint. It was only 5.3km so it didn't really matter. I managed to lose some time: route on #12 was up the gully to the single-track so wasn't paying much attention but I never saw the track and ended up getting sucked up toward the big hill instead of the little knoll. So lost a minute and also lost some time not being careful enough with direction leaving #4. Traded splits with Rob but he got me by about 1.45 in the end.



PTE 4.2

Mid-week Metro at Aranda Bushlands. Pretty straightforward course with a few street legs thrown, which was a fun change-up. Typical small event issues: #2 was too high up the gully (I might have drawn it on wrong but it was hard to tell because the master map and my map were different!) and the map was wrong in a couple of places.
