Oceania long. A tough course, vey physical. Navigation was ok, but lost about 4 minutes when I missed seeing a track route choice. It was a short leg, and i crossed the gorge instead of going round the track. climb was the same, but it was runnable. Was disappointed that the map was 1:15000, not 1:10000. Had the map been 1:10, would have seen the track. Pleased to have navigated the leg well. The other disappointing aspect of the course was it bacisally finished at control 11, after that it was a run through the paddocks no real navigation, just a test of running speed.
Finished 5th overall, and 3rd aussie,behind geoff and ted. Happy with the days navigation, but disappointed by route choice, and legs were spent at the end. Relays will be tough tomorrow
