Event: NSW Long Champs
 

Gumble Pinnacles, west of Orange. An another average run, although I was initially surprised at how far behind the winner (O-ing again - well done!) I was. Analysis of my run however showed a number of errors and led to me being almost 18 minutes behind in 5th place.

A small error at 2 (1 min), then I made a 5 minutes error on the first long leg to 5. Stopped short on 10 (another 2 mins), a little low on 2nd long leg at 11 (1 min) but happy with the route choice. Then came the blowout on the last 2: 5 minutes in total on 2 straight forward controls due to a bad loss of concentration and not checking my compass. I would have been happy with the 54 minutes an error free run would have given me!!

Event: NSW Middle Champs
 

Kahli's Rocks, near Bathurst. A nice area and very well used by the course setter and I enjoyed the run a lot. A reasonable run but waywardness at 1 plus errors at 14 and 15 pushed me down to 4th, about 5 minutes behind O-ing. Just need to concentrate on my map reading on these types of events.

Short afternoon run around Kooringal and Rocky Hill, finishing at our back gate (well, down the hill a bit from it!)
