1. | Unsure when i left the path if I had left in right place - then went with instinct and was right. | ||||||
2. | Helped a group of people looking for same point as me, they put me off course a bit but quickly found where I wanted. | ||||||
3. | 1st person on my course to over take me. | ||||||
4. | A little unsure on distance but gut feel served me correct again. | ||||||
5. | |||||||
6. | Watch Ricky cruise past me along the side of river - thought about going with my original plan which was to trace river then changed mind back, but drift left before correcting again - blame ricky for that - sure I would have been just as slow either way. | ||||||
7. | Another 2 pass me on same course (I believe) | ||||||
8. | |||||||
9. | Stopped to help a kid and who was being helped by 1 of the 2 who had passed me. then setoff again with the other H1 guy - he lost me quickly. | ||||||
10. | Surprised to find Ricky lost - I thought he was on his second course - Made me smile knowing that I am not the only one who gets lost haha. followed shortly by maybe 3 or 4 people passing me. Bad nav idea going up the balder spur what was I thinking. Hindsight - this made me extremely tired (fitness and difficulty) and I recall being unsteady on my feet a few points on this minor ascent. need to be careful a fall here would not have ended well - definitely feeling fatigue by this point but determined to keep pushing hard. | ||||||
11. | Another person cruised past me on this leg. | ||||||
12. | |||||||
13. | Ian cruised past me. | ||||||
14. | Took this leg easy | ||||||
F. | Sprint finish for shits and giggles - take that best split. Overall first time I didn't get hopelessly lost - so in my mind better nav. shaved 8min/km off previous averages - happy days. still heaps of improvement to come. First time I didnt kiss the ground woohoo. post op - killer headache rest of day - quite debilitating - dont know why had drunk 3-4 L from 1 hour before to 1 hour after. 4 l in 4 hr... and proceeded to smash more once home... might need to go from water to electrolytes. |
