Event: NSW State League 9
 

Seemed like a hard day at the office, very physical; rough underfoot and thick vegetation which was invariably shown as white to trick you into taking direct route choices. Interestingly this was billed as being on a remap of the area and "that the rock detail is now perfect"! I thought I had a shocking run strewn with mistakes but it was obviously all relative as somehow I finished first in M50, who knows what errors the others must have made.

C • mistake fest 5

A lot more interest from Nea today, running from the off and continued pretty much the whole way round.

Event: NSW State League 8 (NSW Sprint Champs)
 

First half of Ewan's game. How do you deal with a 10 year old on the opposition who questions the ref's decision?

Reasonably straight forward course on a very flat area, a bit more thought may have made the course more challenging and less of a run fest. Got to the first control and nothing happened for what seemed ages, realised I was first off on Hard 4/5 and that I would be turning the controls on that weren't shared with other courses, not ideal but the few seconds lost didn't affect the final result. Third to Mile B and Glenn Burgess, let the family down as I was the only one not to finish first!

Started off as "I don't want to run", then progressing to "OK I'll skip" then to full out running when she realised she could actually start to overtake people!
