Easter Day 3, relay distance Coomba Falls.
Better run today. Didn't really have any trouble interpreting the map today apart from not being able to see any rocks on the spur before 11. No real mistakes but did wander off my planned route a couple of times. Hard to know if that was sensible adjustment to the terrain in front of me or just being a bit soft and indecisive. Had 3 controls in a row 9, 10, 11 where I was confident coming in but didn't see what I expected so had a little pause. 9 was on a large boulder below a big cliff and the description was 2/6m but had the 6 crossed out and it seemed to be on a bit of rocky ground further West. 10 was on a gully but I couldn't see it when I came through the saddle into the top of a gully which didn't really seem to continue. Relieved to guess the right way and find it a bit further down and slightly East. 11 all seemed right up to the spur before the control except that I expected to see a big cliff wrapping around the top of the spur with more rocks above but I couldn't see much rock at all so I stopped to try to work out what I could have done wrong. Couldn't work it out so took a couple more steps and saw the control right in front of me. On the last control I didn't quite believe the boulder was going to be in the bottom of the gully the way it looked so I wasted a bit of time looking at a couple of other rocks on the edge of the spur on the way down.
Third on the day behind Grant and Jon once again so consolidated the same position overall. Satisfied enough with that but felt I could have given Jono a better fight for second.
Both feet really sore again.
