okm 7.2, 18 controls.
First day of Oceania, this was my first bush event since Aus champs.
Surprisingly had a good speed in the beginning considering I had gastro issue day before (lost lots of water) and could not sleep. Two big mistakes spoiled the race, but I had a good sense it was just a beginning and all good staff yet to come.
First was at 4 where I just undershoot slightly and could not catch where I was. But the silliest one was at 11. I crossed road at drinking station thinking I was just 50 meters from controls. To my surprise, I could not find control! It took me 10 mins or so to realise I crossed road at another drinking station!

I was exited to see some big guns warming up and during the race (I saw Daniel Hubmann, Olav Lundanes, Matias Mertz)
Terrain was so different to Australia but so nice! Pine forest is fantastic!
