swimming 35:00 [3] 1.0 km (35:00 / km)
This was just a warmup for the afternoon's activity: spending the entire 3hr minigaine dressed as a moving control, doing laps of Wynn Vale Dam which is about 1km around, changing directions whenever I felt like it, running away from fast teams (egged on by my bodyguard/photographer) and jogging on the spot so that teams with prams and small children could get the 100 points with ease, presuming that they had started out on the correct side of the lake and/or I hadn't changed my direction when they were halfway around...
I don't know when I've last enjoyed myself quite so much. Possibly this is the most fun it's possible to have with a red-and-white T shirt on! It was hilarious before the start when I was wandering through the crowd at the HH, Navlight carefully hidden and control flags in my hair, admiring all the teams' fancy dress outfits and someone said to me "Wouldn't it be funny if your fancy dress was mistaken for the roving control?". My response: "What if I am the roving control...?" One team outsmarted me though, by strolling casually around the lake, maps behind their backs, so that I thought they were just locals out for a walk until they accosted me and demanded to punch the Navlight!
So. Much. Fun. Legs tired now, wish I'd had a Garmin on.
