National race 54:01 [4] 6.0 km (9:00 / km)
Day3 @ Easter
Wow - fast area. Too fast for me to stick with the good guys. Made one mistake on a long but easy leg (track as attackpoint) when I failed to see a depression just outside the circle so pulled up short. Rest was fine and surprised myself by not stuffing up in the gold diggings toward the end of the course. Did seem to be less complex than day1 though.
Ran hard for me, which still included the obligatory walking up hills, so this is about as good as I get at this point in time. Couldn't have found nuch more than say a minute to cut off my time.
Note
While our results weren't too impressive we must say the three of us enjoyed Easter at Bendigo very much. Our accomadation was excellent (in so far as it was comfortable, roomy and very good value) and we meet up with some friends we hadn't seen for a while.
Sadly we didn't get to visit much in Bendigo itself due to our split start times resulting in us having less time after each event than we would have in the past. Poor LeepBax never ever got to the petting zoo.
We did however enjoy a nice post carnival dinner at Neil and Jules unique and charming home on Monday evening. Thanks guys!!!
Next year is NSW's turn but it will be a remote event. Not sure what input/work we will be doing. It may be limited as we have taken the foot of the gas pedal as far as contributing since LeepBax joined us, for a while at least.
