Ngangagurringgurring Hill the map has grown and extra couple of "gurrings" over the the last 20 years?
H3 Course interesting start controls and was OK for a change from the last few weeks on #2 but came unstuck at #5 where I missed by a few metres and thought i am too high and still missed it on the way back down and circled around again to and came from rocks below looks like about 4 minutes
Across through to 10 was fine overtook Russell Candy but somehow did not register a punch on the SI tag at #10 - I did go there honest!
Correction, the GPS does not lie, I know see that I did not go to #10 but headed on the bearing from #10 - #11 when I left #9 - so that explains my misslocation looking for 11 and also the lack of a split for #10!
maybe I ran too hard trying to overhaul Russell and had no brain oxygen left and #9 & #10 do look a bit the same, both lone boulders across a track?
Still trying to run away from Russell and screwed up 11 big time and ended up between 12 & 13 and had to relocate off the creek to the East of the control and slog up the hill, lost about 7 or 8 minutes I guess
Was careful through 12 & 13 as lots of rock and easy to miss the control - raced down the hill and saw Russell punching #14 from 50m away which saved me a few seconds looking behind black boys. Caught Russell at the finish line then found out at the Caravan that #10 was missing so a MP
Time would have put be in reasonable spot so quite happy but would have been much better without the 10 minutes of errors!
