Event: OAWA Long Champs
 

Nice terrain, a little hot already, but great day to be out. Found most controls fine. Had good incentive to keep the pace up with Tooms 6mins ahead of me, never saw him or Robin who was 2 mins behind. Lost a couple of minutes due to running wide around the hill to 8, and then a 5min mistake to 13 where I ran too high and came down on the granite SE of 9 all the way to the fence and then figured out where I was by the fence. Then about 3mins to 14 where I didn't know how high up the ridge I was. Ran hard on the way home from there.

Won 11 splits to Toom's 6 which made me a bit happier having been beaten by 8 mins.

Course 2 - Splits

Event: Dwellingup 100
 

Event: OAWA Middle Champs
 

Still no gps watch, so all distances are a guess.

Brought one old and one new x-talon shoe for running in - my left one had a lot less grip. Forgot about this once running but now my left heel is sore, wondering if this was the cause.

I ran well to 5 and then turned the map and ran to 7 - missing it by the amount of distance I was out, but didn't figure out I did not go to 6 - so an mp overall. Did not find 8 cleanly and then saw Henry and later Juffy and then Ricky going to it.

Followed Juffy for a while and then found 13 and then 14 before either of them. Spurred on by this I ran up the worse side of the hill to 15 and ran down the otherside too far almost racing tRicky and found myself in bad terrain at the bottom not able to figure out where I was. I actually crossed paths with Ricky as he continued down and I started contouring left but the damage had been done, took 15:50 on this leg alone.

A bad cold.
