Event: Gunapin (Boomer)
 

Boomer H3 at Gunapin, not going hard because the hip is still giving me angst. At briefing was told to skip 2 controls and could be consecutive, however I think Chas meant to say they could not be consecutive. Anyway, on turning map over pretty obvious choice to go straight to 3, surprised that the only other person who spotted this was Ceri. Managed to pip her into 3 as even though she pulled away from me up the first hill she stopped a little before the circle. 3-4 involved a 5-contour hill after crossing a broad gully, and Ceri pulled away. I could see her 100-200m ahead until just after 6, then again 300m ahead at 8 & 9, but then she was gone. Think I may have had a better route on the long leg to 12 as I eventually finished only 3 minutes down, and 1 minute behind Enda who had started early before the mass start, but had skipped 7 and 11.

Nav not really difficult, controls weren't in the detailed areas, but lovely running as usual in the SE part of the map.

H3 - Splits

Event: Aquinas
 

NavDash race at Aquinas, jogging slowly due to injury, 2.25km on gps. Only time loss was going around a small building then finding an unmapped fence across the passage - could have saved 5-10 secs going around the building the other way. Slow pace made nav easy, hence no mistakes.

Short - Splits
