Training Log: simmo

Shorter version of Bassendean ride, cut across to the rail line at Ashfield.

H4 at Kenine Hill day 1, gps 2.5kms. At 1 I looked up the hill towards 2 and saw a flag but at least 10 degrees off the line so assumed it wasn't mine, went to where I thought the control should be and no boulder so the visible flag turned out to be correct. Something wrong with the map maybe, but why would a setter of a hard course put a control where you could see it from the previous? Spiked 3 to 6 but got confused by the lack of white on the map where there were trees and looked for 7 in the wrong group of rocks. Couldn't get up any running speed, the two mistakes amounted to around 4 mins, so quite surprised to be only 5 mins off the winner.
