Melbourne Bush O at Plenty South. My running today largely matched my low expectations (quads weren't quite as bad as I expected, but every hill still felt like a struggle), but I would have hoped for some better navigation on a trickier course than often at these events. Dropped 2-2.5 minutes at 8 on a parallel error, which does owe something to an area of yellow on the map which wasn't particularly yellow on the ground, but if I'd been a bit more on the ball that shouldn't have mattered (everyone else seemed to manage). Unwisely tried to go straight through the green at 6. Didn't feel good on the hills later on, but 16 and 19 were two of my better splits so maybe it wasn't quite as bad as I thought. Certainly felt as if I should have been near or below 50 on a good day (Bruce did 40).
