Event: Bush 9 WA Long Distance Champs Avon Valley
 

WA Long Champs at Avon Valley, GPS 8.9kms. Did almost 4kms while off and on the map searching for 2. This came about because I made yet another 'jump ahead of myself' error, compounded by running 45 degrees off direction from 1. I came to creek junction, and misidentified it as the one almost 1km NW, 400m S of 2. So I was actually nearly a km and a half SE of 2, and still heading NE, off the map. 30-odd minutes later I got back to the same point and realised what I'd done. No dramas on the rest of the course, except for being very slow, and 4 minutes missing the group of (much lower than they were in '88) earth mounds at 8 and having to come back from near 9.

C6 - Splits

Event: NavDash 3 WA Sprint Championships ECU Joondalup
 

State sprint champs at ECU Joondalup, gps 2.19kms. Took a while to find the start triangle and control 1 after picking up the map, so a bit slow to 1. No mistakes, but HR tells the story, in strife after the climb up to 3, and walked a lot from there. Managed to complete the course without stopping and take M70, but a bit behind the M65s and a long way behind Anthea and juniors.
