Despite losing (I think) ~9:30 (mostly to #1 and 2, ~7:00), I'm pretty happy with this run. I managed to not get flustered by having two bad controls in a row, and calm down, and start again for the rest of the course. Other mistakes: #11 ~1:00 bad compass (control may have been a little too far south, others thought so too), #12 ~1:00 didn't quite hit the cliff line at the right place and then proceeded to stuff around for a while, #15 ~30 stayed in the gully instead of coming straight off the track, up onto the spur.

#16 -17 (just east of the start) managed to trip full length ("TIMBER!"), would have been quite funny for anyone who saw me.

Day 3 Hard 2 - Splits

Pretty good race. Crappy compass work out of #3 (luckily it was veering in the best direction to veer, i.e. straight into a fence, and still vaguely in the right direction) and lost concentration for a bit to #6 and then convinced myself I wasn't where I actually was, and originally thought I was.

Hard 2 - Splits

Started off well to #1 and 2. then lost concentration and lost 2 minutes to #3, finding #4, which was significantly further up the hill. The rest of the course was ok, with a few smaller mistakes among the better controls, the biggest being ~45 sec to #10, where I failed to notice a (quite noticeable) split in a gully.
