Classic Distance on Boboyan Divide. Again started poorly, losing time on no.1 and then 4 min on no.2 and 5 min on no.5. Bruce Arthur caught me soon after and ran with/near him with just a couple minor misses up to no.18. I was getting very tired by then accidentally started the second butterfly loop in reverse by getting no.23 then running towards 22 when I realised. From then struggled on to the finish down in 15th place.

Event: ACT Champs Carnival (NOL Round 3)
 

Sprint at CSIRO Black Mountain. Started in the bush section. Lost 1 minute at no.2 as it was vague and didn't really know where I was. Rob Bennett caught me there. Then into the buildings stuffed no.8 down in a garden map which was not mapped because it was undercover. The problem was that it was taped off so I thought it was out-of-bounds so lost a fair bit of time there. Middle few were all ok then lost more time at no.20 going in too early. Finished well down in 27th.

Middle Distance at Orroral Tracking Station. Lost 2 minutes at the short 1st control which wasn't even 100m away from the start triangle. The bush was thicker than mapped and the rocks weren't too visible. Was way too high on no.5 and then again at no.6. Had already lost 6 minutes to this point where lazydave caught me. Ran the rest of the course with him losing 30 secs on no.14 and maybe 2 min on no.20. Was expecting to be much further down in the field and behind the winner. Finished in 16th.

Good effort by the Stingers with Robbie taking the win, Ezy in 4th and Macey 5th.
