Boambee Beach, QBIII Day 1, M60, mp. Karma? Cath had entered me as M55, but I changed to M60 and punched the M55's no. 1 instead of mine. I was still in shock after a fall before the start - swung off a branch which snapped and I fell 1m down a cliff on my elbow which swelled up to an egg size and basically paralyzed my left arm. So I hadn't really sorted out the scale and stopped short at the M55 control, which was on line (due south) and in a similar feature - a depression which looked like a gully. The shock part might also explain why I didn't check the code number, something I usually do as routine after a few issues a couple of years ago (Note - this is the third time I've mp'd at no. 1, NSW Sprint Champs 2010, Orange and the JK in 1979. Every time it was a short leg and a similar feature.).
Butchered no. 2 as a result and fumbled the first loop, but ran well after that - nice area, good course.
Lost 5-6 minutes, but had the fastest time on the course.
