Qld champs day 2. Back to more typical farmland granite today without the mining. very good area (and a good map now that it was printed correctly). Wasn't really with it today. Not paying enough attention at key points on legs and trying to fit where I wanted to be on the map to where I was, rather than making the effort to relocate properly. blew 6 mins between 3 controls early on, then decided to take my gel earlier than I'd planned (but it helped). after that I was just a bit too tired and struggled on the hills. at least it wasn't as hot today and the forest was really nice running.

Qld champs day 1 at Lode Creek - granite and tin mining with some st helens vibes. forest was a bit scrappy but there were plenty of tracks. very hot starting in the middle of the day. Pretty clean run. Just lost time on a control hidden in the bottom of a pit that I hadn't managed to trip right over - lorenzo snuck past and got it without showing me. then a bit of hesitation on a control in unreadable rock later on. that turned out to be a printing error rather than a mapping error as we still have people who insist on using corpse - it had somehow made every black dot the same size as the bit boulders so the rocky ground just drowned everything out.
time includes warm up and warm down and probably also a fair bit of standing around. will go back to splitting it up I think.
