spiked:21/26c shoes: Brooks Trance 10
O on The Clay Pan. Wasn't expecting this. It was a bush event and not only was the bush on the map, the controls were places well off the tracks so legs got pretty scratched up. Had a terrible run but somehow was only 10 points off the leaders Mike Burton and Patrik Gunnarsson.
Started off with no.2, 21, 12 then a bush bash through to 25 which took ages through the green. Couldn't get the next no.15 spot on, then went to 21 instead of 7. Next control was no.8 next to the main track but couldn't find it. The next few were very tricky but was ok through 20, 10, 29, 9 , 27, 19 and 30. Then a 300m thick bush leg to 18 but didn't have a compass and ended up overrunning 200m hitting the road. Decided to go back to it so lost 7-8 minutes! Decided to be late after that and collected as many street controls as possible. Reckon I collected more points than points lost for being overtime so was worth it. Finished on 470 points. Without errors should have scored 580 points (9 minutes errors and not finding no.8). Enjoyed the map and course though, will be more prepared next year.
