Event: NavDash 2 - Brigadoon
 

Thought I'd be good and quickly put some washing on before going running. Got it started and a few seconds later the power went off .... but not the lights, so tried to rest the RCD, wouldn't reset, got Belinda to try turning off things around the house, eventually tried the water pump, RCD reset, water pump seems to be leaking lots of water between the motor and the pump. Will take it to the pump shop later, most likely to be formally declared dead. But no water in the house for the time being.

So still slightly lergyfied but figured a short run shouldn't spur it on too much (hopefully).

Normal short bridle trail loop from home with the dog.

Comfortably maintaining cruising speed (5:00/km) approaching halfway, so cranked it up a bit, but Mickey started lagging, so didn't get much over cruising speed.

Good to get more practice on a bush map. First long leg from 2 to 3 could see the end of the fence near the track as a reference point. Overshot 6 and was looking near the end of the culvert when someone else gave it away, then found I'd overshot 7 by a mile when I was getting close to the dam. Long leg from 8 to 9 I hit the track near the end of the fence and zoomed down seeing it easily from the track. Nice run from 13 to 14 along the creek, but hit the main creek close to 10 so a bit off target. More zoom down to 15 and 16 finishing with the last half a dozen close together controls.

Still can't read the map faster enough, only two overshoots, probably could have jumped on the track to the north of 2 to zoom out to 3 and have a close attackpoint from the end of the fence.
