@ rendezvous!!! in the cold rain with sah, gin, lachy and george :)
line course out to the start of the course. was an epic long like 4km line course, crazy! good for the first half when it was in the open....but then got in the thick stuff and boy it was thick! was pretty much just a wet-bush bash for ages haha. good fun though :D
also i decided to wade through the river (waist-deep) instead of just jumping it like everyone else...

lost so much time in the vague areas, didnt trust my bearing so kept stopping early and running around in little circles...stupid. lost about 4-5mins all up
felt quite good physically, particularly at the end (maybe didnt run hard enough at the start....??)

an ok run, lost time at 4 being abit too high, then at the second last cuz what a suprise I couldn't read the map...so was wandering around some biggish rocks which were about half a pixel in size on the map
anyway, it was the same for everyone and I still had fun :D

Sprint
really enjoyed the area and course :) made 3 mistakes: didn't read map correctly at one and had to go the long way round a wall, went in one building too early on one so had to zig zag around and had a slow route on the 3rd last one I think it was.
Maybe lost 45secs to 1min in total but felt like I had good flow :D

Middle
love this map!! So was very dissapointed to have such a shocker! Lost time at almost every control. Tried to run too fast at the start cuz I had heaps of energy, then tried to drop someone later on by picking up the pace...which was a bad idea in this area!! So so annoyed at myself, didn't deserve the win...

90min rogaine on turkey ridge i think it was, steep open farmland. very different to aus!
did the first few ok, then was with mother so we did some relocation/map memory exercises and just ran around randomly, not really aiming to get lots of controls. was quite cool!
calves got uber tight on all the hills and i suspect are wanting a rest...

woodhill, on the maps being used for QB3.
did some more O ints, the first few were baaaaad as i was still half asleep. then bumped into mark and geoff who gave us another map with taped controls for the event on it. so went on a detour to do a super control picking course of them.
very very cool. am not looking forward to returning to boring old canberra with its lovely spur-gully maps :(

did some O ints on the better part of the map we had run to. mother put out the tapes then i came and collected them. very cool low-vis part at the start which was tricky!
then got really tired soon after that and skipped some of the legs cuz i had stopped concentrating.......should have had an easier day yesterday!!

run in the W-somethingsomthing ranges near auckland after arriving. suposed to be an easier run but i got lost!!!! took one glance at the map then just ran...which was dumb cuz i took one wrong turn and ran waaaaaay up a spur in the wrong direction so had to turn around and run really fast back to the car so mother wouldnt worry.
