TWalk legs 1,2 and 3 - the nice happy part of Twalk

Twalk with Greig, Brent, Megan, Ash, Matt B, Calvin and Kate. A good team! Everyone was pretty enthusiastic and good at finding controls. Except for Brent. He was soft and demoralised.

Started off a bit quick thanks to two teams of guys running hard but navigating terribly. We decided to try and keep up with them to annoy them with our speedy girls. This worked well and we would have taken out leg 1 except we decided to stop for a wee picnic on the top of the hill. Good quality picnic.

Leg 1 was a bit too easy but leg 2 and 3 were good. Should have stopped looking earlier on a couple. Lesson learnt - if you don't understand the clue and have been looking for 10minutes in the right place, you probably aren't ever going to find it.

I was feeling pretty average from the start. Lungs and legs had nothing. Had felt like I was getting sick all week and it was inevitable that this whole race was going to be a bit of a mission for me.

Call it 45min run and 45min bush bash through the "ugly gully"

Felt like crap running uphill

Owww stupid toenail

Drank sufficient amounts of beer after work to get up the guts to remove it. Yay.

Up bowenvale downhill and around into albert tce. Back along the road.

Was feeling off this evening and my left toe is giving me a bit of grief. Toenail has 90% fallen off and jabbing me when I run or walk.

Up mt armstrong and out over waimak col. Nice day in the mountains. So sunny.
