Event (Blue Gum Hills NOY) 1:27:38 [3] 4.3 km (20:23 / km)
(sick)
Still a bit wobbly so wasn't going to press today. We didn't get there early enough to get to see people and fiddle on and have enough time to do the Medium, and to some extent I probably shouldn't have chosen it anyway as it was over 5km. Looked at the Moderate Hard course and steered clear - so opted for Short Hard. (discovered later - as in on way to #1 - that rockman had chosen it too so I felt a bit better that I didn't totally wimp out.)
No problems navigationally and didn't deteriorate much over the course of the morning. Not as tough going up hills than I'd expected, or Malcolm has promised.
First drift was 9-10 and so landed on track and noticed rockman heading towards the 4 string barbed wire fence so i went about 150 up to help him with that. I then foolishly berated myself about being so far off line, forgetting I'd actually gone somewhere else!!! Back to 10 and OK 11 but another drift to right (both were), but relocated from small track to pick up last control and then to Finish.
Absolutely beautiful day out and forest was quite nice. Bit of chit chat afterwards then to next task.
