Event (Miners Despair - Minor) 1:08:35 [2] *** 3.7 km (18:32 / km)
spiked:8/12c (sick)
Really wanted to do this event - or just to be outside in nice weather - but knew I just couldn't go any faster than a walk. Enjoyed this course a lot and was pleased with nav - except for brain fart bookends. Long track leg to start with and moved over to allow the 4WD fraternity to pass. They whooshed through the water (which just might equate to a watercourse?) on the track and so when they had gone I moved back onto the track and "reset" - except the AP was the watercourse - dummie! A couple of controls were so spiked it was incredible - if I had to move 2 paces off line it was a tragedy. Brain fart also at the end when i crossed between tracks but should have stayed on the first - so lost a bit of time. But didn't go any faster than a stroll - forehead was burning so much with skin irritation! rockman under strict instructions to be careful walked also - had his brain farts at different controls so i got him on those but he was way ahead of me (and mapgirl on a couple of controls). Lovely day and really nice to catch up with MessEng, LH and a few others we haven't seen since chemo started. No cardio for at least another week - body will rebel!
