Pennant Hills. Must not count chickens before they hatch. Must not count chickens before they hatch. Must not count chickens before they hatch.
Second, but not really that much quicker than previous runs, just a few no-shows. Still pretty happy with the result.

Warmed up along the entrance road. Saw #6 to the left down a slope and #14 to the right at the bottom of an embankment. Many times on the course I was thinking to myself "Where is that control at the bottom of the embankment?" I had convinced myself that #6 was the last control as it was closer to the finish. So I had forgotten about the embankment when it came to the crunch and mistakenly ran the upper road, had to clamber down to #14, and then my subconcious kicked in - up the slope to the finish - forgetting that it was #6 that had that. As a result went 90 degrees the wrong direction out of 14 and lost about 15 seconds before correcting. Moral - warm up off course!!
