H4 course at Frazzle Rock Day 1, GPS 3.02km.
Careful to 1, and I won the split - just. Should have headed N for a bit out of 1, and into the watercourse leading to the control, but went E instead and found a different w/c to confuce myself with - lost a good minute, probably more. OK for 3, 4, 5 and 6, won the splits or was just 1 sec down. At 7 I could see the boulder it was on but thought that's way too far right, so hesitated a good 20 secs before going there. Blew 4 mins at 8 by not reading the description - which was wrong anyway; convinced myself it was at the head of a side w/c, and went away thinking i must be on the wrong w/c, when all the time it was a few metres away under a bush. Easily won the split to 9, even though I was way too low in the early part of the leg. The last 3 legs were all disasters for various reasons, but mainly the unmapped green, probably due to windfalls since the original mapping; probably did 5 mins over these three legs.
