Oceania Day 2 @ Osgiliath Wood.
Not much sleep, feeling well below average but nevertheless got to the strartline warmed up and ready but reluctant. First half of the course was in the faster flater pines where I mainly kept some good tight nav. Got some flow on and some pace even though the ground was very soft to run on. by c5 I was in the lead which was no easy thing with a number of fast guys entered. Some smallish misses and hesitations dropped me back to 4th such was the closeness. Managed to refocus as I went into the Macrocarpa and coast... so I thought. Lost 2.5 mins on c16, damn I executed it well using the long clearing and distinct trees at speed in the low vis Macro forest but then wrecked it by fluffing the open dune entry direction a bit but thought I had it perfect. All the remaining controls had very difficult nav issues, so apart from the following couple of mistakes that I shouldn't have made, I felt under contol and reasonable quick. However c18 was in a u depression in the dunes. I knew I was in the correct area but both Paul D and myself just couldn't find it. Eventually did and it was in a depression that I looked at from the other side several times.. but was under a bush. Lost 2.5 mins. Then while planning a longer leg ahead I missed a short easy one out at the beach and didn't realise until I has smashed and struggled uphill though lots of shitty scrub, of which I then had to return. dropped to 7th losing 4.25 mins. Nailed the next couple even thogh I was getting very tired by then. Won the Fin sprint haha.
Great area and never ran there before. 6th
