MTBO race (BOSS 75-min score) 1:13:21 *** 11.55 km (6:21 / km) +207m 5:50 / km
ahr:143 max:164 spiked:15/20c rhr:92 slept:6.9 weight:66kg shoes: Giant XTC Adv 29er 2 (grey)
"Fairley Dams", Holmesville. 19/30c. 37 points (max 56, 1:39 early - no penalties). 10th/33 (10 pts behind Wayne Hawken). 27°C. TE 3.5.
Some water in the creeks. Not too muddy. A few hills, nothing too steep or long. Double-sided map. Did 3c on the east #1 map on the way to the west #2 map where the controls appeared to be closer. Collected all the #2 map controls except 3c in the NE section. Bitten on left ankle by a spider while stopped at 226(#11). Missed my turn for 225(#12) and took a longer track. Lost 2:20 looking for 206(#16). Had planned to do the remaining 2-3pts (5c) west of the power lines on map #1. Time losses on map #2 meant skipping 232. Didn't see track to 203. Track leading to 222(19) is mapped "medium >1.5m" but should be "slow <1.5m". 1min lost here meant skipping 221 as well.
Sequence: [Map 1] S-212-231-205 [Map 2] 235-207-227-234-208-218-215-226-225-233-214-224-206-216 [Map 1] 204-222-F.

Power still not on at home - into the third day now. Heard a rumour on the radio that Ausgrid wasn't expecting most houses to be reconnected until the end of the week. May soon have to start throwing out refrigerated food that doesn't fit in the esky.

Power still not on at home - over 24 hours now. Family disappointed they couldn't watch the first episode of 'Dancing with the Stars' last night. At least we had gas to cook with and lots of scented candles. Candles seem to be a popular gift for teachers at girls' catholic schools.
