Fucken shocker, managed to get stuck in just about every stuckable thing on the way to 4 and 8 but not going into 3 where if I had like just about everyone else, I would have gone around to 4 like just about everyone else, and not lost half the time I lost on that leg trying to climb through viney shit, then managed to look at the control site twice without seeing the control, really struggled to read the contours under the rock, the printing this weekend was average. Then was not really paying attention just pissed and missed time on 5 and 6, 7 I looked for the cleanest line in and out. Caught Andrew Peat (who had passed me at some point) on the track to 8, and I decided to hook more around down the stream for safety, well fuck me, ended up a bit higher than wanted and got stuck on some new slips/cliffs and had to bail into the stream to get out, then had no where to go but down the stream and got stuck in heaps of log piles and flood piled up rubbish, had to do a bit of a superman jump through tree branches into a waterhole at 1 point which really hurt my back, not impressed. Got to the control with Martin Peat (started 9 mins after), Sam and Aiden, Next leg I wanted to get away from the steam, but saw Martin sliding down the cliff halfway through the leg, looked quite cool. Saw Matt Ogden going into 8 as well. Just slowly slogged up the hill was struggling to read the contours and rocks together, going into 10 same time as Matt and punched a control right before it that wasn't ours, back was really stiff all the way up here. Leppin at spectator, then down the slope to 14, went straight to where I thought it would be and here is a earth bank, wheres the control, look around a bit then find it about 20m away on a small rock face, then got really pissed when I saw the next leg, struggled up the hill. Thought 16 would be about the same contour so consciously did not drop any height, but ended up being way to high, 17-18-19 ok, 20 I wasn't thinking enough and had seen a control on the way to 15 so went to that before realising it wasn't mine, 21 should have used track, and 22 should have gone around the top.
Not happy at the end of today, just enough of the didn't care factor to not push when stuck and not pay enough attention all the time, still the block of 'white' forest was unfair, and the only thing HB didn't do well was get the printing right on the maps (each event had different colours which shows they dont have a consistent printer they use all the time and trust)
