Kloofendal - 1:7'500
First event of the Bushveld season.

Late start after assisting at registration on a cool day. Got off to a fair start, but the big hill to #2 saw me walking. Small overshoot to #4, coming around the right side of the control but ending up too low. On the long leg to #10, went over the highest part of the hill and past #16 as it was quite runable and linked nicely between 2 parts of the hiking trail. To #12, went left and came up the valley. Next mistake was to #17 as I was too far right, aiming for the spur instead of the knoll. Then not the straightest direction to #18 before another mistake to #20, where I went too far left, with a parallel error mistaking one spur for another. Lost about 45s or so. To #21, ran down the ridge line before dropping off the main slope. A few secs were lost overshooting #23, leaving the path a few metres too late and doubling back. Then ended up on the wrong side of the foot of the spur at #24, so lost another 10s there.

Got 1st about 4 mins ahead of Paul, another 30s to Garry with Eugene 4th just behind them. Great planning by Nick C.

Brown - Splits

First park run at Alberts Farm. Hilly route with some good technical sections of track.

Out through Fourways Gardens and around the back of Broadacres.

Trying to get some speed back, so TT tonight. Better than I expected and now got something to work against.
