rogaining (control-hunting) 1:00:00 [3]
shoes: Asics 2170
Urgh, people started getting ready to prepare breakfast about 6am. I definitely hadn't been asleep long enough. Headed out 9amish control collecting on Ulooloo, with George driving and dropping me & Zara to get half a dozen controls each. I started with the trig point on Scrub Hill (which was a climb as steep as any in the 6hr last month) but then once on the ridgeline could run quite a bit, always into a headwind it seemed, with the controls I'd tucked under one arm trying to blow away from me.
By the time we got back to the HH it was 1pm, but at least there had been volunteers to collect all the other controls :) some of them people who hadn't been able to find a particular control during the event and wanted to go back to it. But we got pretty good feedback on the course and the country, and didn't lose anyone down a cliff/mineshaft - apparently last week's insurance saga was triggered by an article on the rogaine in the local paper, which the landowner's insurance agent read and then he said to them "You do realise you're not covered if anything happens to anyone...?" Anyway, nothing did happen to anyone, and I think mum & dad & Zara (to whom I owe lots of gratitude for their collaboration on the rogaine, which has taken up the last 6 months) and I can sleep well tonight.
