"The Common - Rylstone". M45AS / Hard 3: 1.7km, +75m, 11c. 4th/5 in M45AS (2:12 behind Rob Bradley); 35th/84 on H3. 11°C. TE 3.0.
A very scrubby course and very rocky underfoot. Rolled ankle on way down to #3. Needed accurate compass work today. Stuffed up #5 when I didn't take a good bearing. #1 - follow gully down. #2 - around & up hill. #3 - down steep hill to dry gully (rolled ankle). #4 - drifted L to wrong waterhole (lost 30"). #5 - bad bearing (-3:30). #6 - straight down & up to rocks. #7 - follow dry watercourse to dry gully (watch stopped). #8 - straight up hill to edge of rocky outcrop (watch restarted). #9 - spectator control, ran to foot of arena, slow over very rocky ground. #10 - ran to clearing instead of dry gully (-25"). #11 - obvious gully. #F - follow streamers up hill. Best leg: #6 (5th/84). Best pos: 14th/84 (#3).
Surprised to finish the weekend in 3rd place after Kris (DNS) and Dave McGhee (MP); 25:46 behind Wiz.

"Prosser's Reef", Clandulla State Forest. M45AS / Hard 6: 4.6km, +60m, 7c. 6th/6 in M45AS (34:50 behind Wiz). 10°C. TE 4.2.
Too many mistakes. 6 of 7 controls were long legs with lots of potential to lose bearings. #1 - OK, followed the fast track longer than necessary but I wanted to minimise the compass run into the shallow gully. #2 - Drifted L into a similar gully and had to circle back (lost 5:30). #3 - Straight OK. #4 - Drifted L onto a parallel ridge (-6:30). #5 - Planned to follow minor track to end and then continue straight, but drifted R into wrong steep gully (-15'). Made another attempt along another ridge (-9:30) before finally working out the topography. #6 - Opted to follow tracks down to cleared area and run up gully to control (-2:30). #7 - Around hill and over fence. Best leg: #3 (1st/6). Best pos: 3rd/6 (#1).
Tumbled to 5th place after Day 2; 26:40 behind Kris Patterson. Too far back now to figure in the overall placings after tomorrow's sprint.

"Carwell's Labyrinth", Clandulla State Forest. M45AS / Hard 4: 3.1km, +85m, 12c. 1st/6 in M54AS (2:51 ahead of Rob Bradley); 1st/51 in H4. Probably the best MD effort I've ever put in. Course really suited me today with some fast and open legs. Had to be accurate with compass bearings. Gullies were fairly distinct. Only error was drifting R on #8-9 leg to the wrong termite mound (lost 10"). Handy lead after Day 1. Best legs: #4,5 (1st/51). Best pos: 1st/51 (#5-F). 12°C. TE 4.0.
