Australian 3 Days at Burngoogee. I was a late starter. I didn't do anything drastic this time. I was just slow (despite feeling reasonably well for the first time in a while), took slow route choices and stuffed around in the control circles. At least l finished today.
Now to be the messenger bearing bad news to the OA meeting. Hopefully its not a case of 'off with her head'. On a serious note, l will interested to observe the voting model - 'winners and losers' or consensus.

C • Baptism of fire... 8

Day 1 of Australian 3Days at Connorton. I started well and then got confused between 7 and 8, thinking l needed to follow a spur, rather than a gully. This was embarrassing as l had already run through this gully This took me into some steep stuff and, by the time l relocated, l had tired a little. I then mispunched 12. The 1 on 81 looked at bit like a 7. I then wondered why the next control was not where it should be. Ah, well. Nice area but not my day. MP.
It was definitely not my day. A group of us planned to dine in a local pub. We waited ages for our dinner (we were starving) and then noticed they were packing up.! They had forgotten our orders! So they unpacked and cooked our dinners AND gave (most of) our money back. Neil didn't do so well. His dinner looked like a half serve of lettuce leaves.

Street O at Greythorn. It was a pretty hilly course and l picked a silly low scoring route. But at least it was peaceful. I just walked as l am still low in energy. The houses in this area are amazing, with many of the new houses looking like town halls.
