day 5. Dumeresq Dam. map was a bit sketchy, with some places totally dodgy. had quite a wobble on 7 where there was an extra boulder cluster near the creek. had a good splash around, with marshes everywhere which made for slow going. took a win in the end, but only a few seconds ahead of Jo. nice to end the week with a good run.

training - corridor exercise set by wendy. really hard - mainly cos the point features were vague and not particularly well mapped.

day 4, mt brown. steep slope, with lots of rock and grass. started ok, but lost the plot a bit on the way to 2, ok for the next few, and got in a bunch with Lance, Aaron and David Tay, until we all dropped too low on 7. Lance punched the wrong control and kept going, but David and I slogged our way up the hill to the right control. pretty clean on the rest of them, and had a good race with steve at the end - and beat him in a sprint finish.

training - hill rep + downhill control picking x2. was planning on 3, but had started to feel a bit woozy on the 2nd and was making stupid mistakes so called it.

day 2 hillgrove - shocker. fastest split to #1, then lost 10mins on 2 cos I ended up on completely the wrong hill after crossing an extra creek. not particularly motivated after that, and lost some more time on a few wobbles. nice area to run around thou.

compass exercise, set by ezy. managed to do a bit better than earlier in the day.

putting out tags for training tmw afternoon.

Xmas 5days day 2 Banalasta. nice run, but wasn't really awake. pretty much just cruised around. didn't really make any mistakes, but wasn't super clean either. ended up running quite a bit with aaron.

training - contour only exercise set by Shep.

control collection with wendy

missed day 1 of the 5 days with an all day drive. headed to armidale via the new england highway, but didn't even get into warwick before we got stuck by floodwater. turned around and drove down via the coast, but got in about 8.30.
