McLeans Island - flattest forest map in NZ? 90 minute score and a surprisingly good hangover cure. May have been a blessing - made me stick to a pace I could actually keep up for the whole time (OK, ... most of the time) rather than starting too fast and tanking out at the far end of the map. Thought I'd pick up everything in the east block and then would be a matter of how much or how little I could add, but at the hour mark was actually starting to wonder if I could attempt to clear the map... Good thing I stayed sensible and conservative - as not long after lost a bit of time drifting off line to a couple of controls and started to flag physically a bit when there was still the long leg back towards home to come. But after a bit of a panic only dropped 1 30 pointer in that return home section, which I might have had just enough time to grab after all...
