It seems that by Day 3 of Easter someone in the household mastered Gumble. It wasn't me. May have to get some tips from spouse.

Real Orienteering race (Gumble Pinnacles) 1:10:23 [4] ***** 5.56 km (12:40 / km) +185m 10:51 / km
spiked:14/16c shoes: Speedcross 5 8th pair

Familiar story. Spike dthe first 11 controls, including the key control on the long leg that proved decisive for so many. In predicted 7th position. Then relaxed and took the Bendigo run straight at the control tactic, which definitely doesn't work at Gumble. Lost over 10 minutes and dropped from 7th to 17th. Lost interest again after that and took it easy. Please let it be over.

Clearly I am not used to terrain where you have to hold concentration and map location throughout the course. In Bendigo we we are always given legs where you can switch off and run on the red line. Even the last event at the Bermuda Triangle at Kooyoora there wer eoptions to run loose aiming for large open rock areas. There are no such features at Gumble. Each time I decided to try Bendigo tactics mid course, I lost 10 minutes or more. And so I finished 13th, close to my predicted worst feasible placing.
