NSW Long Champs which was on spur gully terrain with rocks (altho the latter really not used much) with a lot of fallen timber (especially where I tried to run). Less than a minute to control 1 - surpised it was put so close on the largest boulder you could see just after leaving the start. Dropped a minute on 3 when I went to the spur next to the one I should have been at. Straight on most legs as little route choice options. Very slow over the last leg to the penultimate control - no legs left on the uphill here. 4th place altho TGV did not run our class today.

C • Where are your splits? 3

Long Hard 8 - Splits

NSW Middle champs at Wyangala Dam on a steep map with lots of boulders. First 3 controls were very easy then I dropped 2 minutes on 4 altho I saw it but assumed it was not mine as it was too low on the slope as I contoured around a hill full of rocks and boulders. Got into a bit of a train after that when caught some others and then was overtaken by TGV and Nick Wilmott. Pretty warm as well so hard to read the map with sweat in the eyes. Nailed them all tho but did initially run to the wrong penultimate control - new control description of a cleared area confused me. 4th place!

Middle Hard 6 - Splits

Mixture today as a few of the group are going in the UTA50 on Saturday - some of the usual strength and agility exercises but at least a quarter was stretching.

Began with peleton of 4 and 2 more joined near the end of rowing course on LBG. Second in hill sprint to young Des - too strong even tho I had been virtually taken out early on by another unnamed rider. Legs felt it today after a lot of running. Nice autumn weather and a cruise ride home. Ride in further disrupted by the unnamed rider having a flat tyre which we stopped to help him given he had no spare tubes, or repair kit or tyre levers - he did have a pump tho!!

Nice run with Grant around edge of Mt Majura on a sunny but chilly autumn morning. Only had to walk a short distance on a couple of hills after the 5 km mark. Felt I earnt the bacon and egg roll I had after the run.
