2016 Easter Carnival - Day 2 - The Murdering Shed Course: M21aSLEDGE 6.3 km 170 m
With a 1 second head start to Slatts, i had a bit of an early advantage here. I let Slatts lead me ahea and then i managed to squeeze him out to get the control first. That was my only goal for the course. I was pretty smooth with navigation, but my pace really meant i had plenty of time to make decisions and read the terrain. I had a wobble to 6 where i left the creek SW of the control on a bearing too far to the east and hit the ridge earlier than planned. Confused myself a little around 8 with not having great map contact at the edge of the circle, but got lucky by spotting people leaving the control. I also thought the control was going to be at the base of the cliff, where it was actually at the top. Should've read the control descriptions. Wiz made it clear i chose the wrong route 11 to 12 where he was moving generally slower in the terrain than me, he passed me by taking the track option which i though was too sinusoidal. Dropped AK on this leg as he decided to navigate independantly, that was a silly idea. I rolled my ankle on th track to 13 which hurt and slowed me down a bunch through the final controls.

2016 Easter Carnival - Day 1 - Isaacs Ridge Course: M21aSLEDGE 6.4 km 195 m
I'm never a fan of Mass Starts, but the Sledge Mass start is always hilarious. So many start so strong, and so many don't make the distance - Conrad, i'm looking at you. I really thought i was going to be able to go faster than i did, i don't think the rogaine and the limited sprint races really were what i needed to compete over this distance, terrain and relief. I made only one error, on the long leg to 13 where i probably came back into the forest off the track too soon and fart-arsed on the hill side with little easily navigable features. AK passed me on the downhill leg (to 18) and I kept Slatts at bay right up to the line, so that was nice.

2016 Easter Carnival - Prologue - University of Canberra Course: Course 1 3.8 km
After watching the Elites do their thing, I got a turn at this course. It was a huge benefit to have watched the elites as the loop through the assembly area trapped so many of the elites. I had only a couple of wobbles, and poor route choices. Start to 1 and 1 to 2 were the significant ones. Probably lost less than 30 secs over the whole course. I ended up top third for all entrants on the course which is pleasing.

Wow! I actually could ride my usual route to work. And only through one work zone and taking one right turn at a "No Right Turn" sign. Legs oh so tired from the Rogaine.
