"Foxes Lair", Narrogin WA. M45AS/C12: 2.3km, +40m, 12c. 1st/3 - a few DNSs (5:10 ahead of Ellis). 17°C. TE 3.6.
Determined to concentrate today. The bush was fairly open with gentle contours. Lost concentration towards the end when I had more people around me, but nothing too serious. Cumulative time losses kept to under 2'. Australian Champion! Best legs: #1/3/4/7/10/12/F (1st). Best pos: 1st (#1-F).
#1 - Straight. #2 - Track then compass from boulders. #3/4 - Straight. #5 - Straight, but drifted into wrong gully (lost 15"). #6 - Contouring looked tricky so I ran to the main road, behind the start area, to compass across a flat area. #7 - Used clearings as APs. #8 - Straight, but drifted left (lost 25"). #9 - Hit WC too low (lost 15"). #10 - Straight. #11 - Ran to wrong white area (lost 1'). #12/F - Straight.
