Warm up jog before the vic long champs. Skipped the warm down as had to head back to catch a plane

Vic long champs. Second to Ted. Good run except for one control. Started conservatively to 1 trying to read the map, spiked the control, and then felt a bit more confident about the reading. Good through the detail to 2,3 and 4. Then it switched from gold mining to spur gully. Ran well through to 7, by which stage had a 2 minute lead, then blew 4 minutes on 8. Headed up the hill to the track, along the track and then down the spur. Missed the spur to the left the control was on, and got on a parallel one. Wasn't enough rock, and then realised the mistake, and headed back to the correct spur. Damage done. 2 minute lead turned to 2 minute deficit. Ran hard for the rest and got back a minute. Enjoyed the course despite the error
