Not one, but two, mazes, a mirror image of each other, greeted us on Belair oval :)

The idea was to start in matched pairs and each do opposite versions of a course which started with controls in one side of the maze, went externally to a pivot control, and then back into the other half of the maze, effectively doing the same course again but in reverse. Since this was designed as a knockout competition, it was very important to be ahead at the halfway mark...or so you might think. I actually found that I sped up a lot in the second half, because all I had to do was remind myself of where the controls were placed and then do the relevant leg backwards. Which may explain why I somehow made it all the way through to the fourth round, where I was paired against Angus the speed demon, and was so excited at being not *too* far behind him at the pivot control that I went into a bit of oxygen debt on the final maze and, on the very last control, got halfway there then got confused because instead of just taking the route which was in my head, I actually looked at the map - which I had turned around 180 degrees!

Just maybe, my legs might be running a little bit faster these days, and my brain hasn't caught up yet...

Had intended to do a bit more of a run, but legs said no. I guess I've made them run 9 days in a row now.
