The annual Bendigo Twilight '3 hour'. A score event that starts about 45 minutes before sunset. You have to run hard in that first hour to get as many controls as possible while the navigation is easy. So the usual 3 hour pacing to save yourself a little in reserve doesn't happen. So, naturally, you are more tired than usual in that last hour when you really have to concentrate. Happy to get all the controls with 30 minutes to spare. No real errors in the dark. Missed a couple of controls by about 25 metres. Night navigation is one of my stronger suites, so I like this event.
