Awesome area on the top of a plateau with sinkholes everywhere, then one slope with scattered cabbage trees and kanuka bushes. Started really well, nailing the first 8 controls. Then got dragged up to the top of the cliffs on 9 when I saw Tom and had read the description as 'top of cliff; so lost 2mins there. Terrible direction to 14 and lost another 2mins. Then was cautious through the scattered trees area making sure I nailed the controls as it was probably the trickiest part of the whole course. Dropped too early to 21 and lost about 3mins. Perhaps i was put off by the shock of seeing a wallaby bounding off in front of me! Rest of the course was fine, tried to push hard on the last 4 controls up the hill cos I figured everyone else would be tired here too and good chance to make up some time. Finished in 1st, about 2mins in front of Lara and 3mins in front of Sonia. Saved by my running speed I think...

One of those races where absolutely nothing goes right. Messed up about half the controls and really struggled to understand the map in some places, particularly the rough open around number 8. Felt pretty bad physically too, even on the parts where it was easy running. Finished in 6th, 11mins down on Georgia.

Much much better race than the mornings one. Nailed just about every control. Caught up to Georgia and Renee at 7 and 9, then had got away from them but Renee caught back up again at 23...lost 1min on that leg as the control was in the wrong place which was super annoying. But ended up winning by 2mins anyway so very happy with that :)

Just cruising around so I don't tire myself out before the weekend. Pretty terrible navigation...wasn't reading ahead enough and had to keep stopping at each control and each junction for #6-9. Hopefully getting it all out of the way today, not on saturday...
