Bassendean ride, very fresh and gusting NEly. Bike blown over outside cafe and derailleur hanger got bent, so had to limp home with dodgy gears.

Later, took the bike to ERC where my favourite mechanic fixed it for me, for free.

Event: Bush 12 Wundabiniring Brook
 

H4 course at Wundabiniring, gps 5.21kms. The course used mainly good running areas and was quite enjoyable. Spiked 1, took the N track route , then below the ridge to 2. Fair bit of green around 3, and can't be sure it was in the right place as didn't see any of the rocks to the NW of the one the control was supposed to be on, and lost 4 mins wandering around. Enjoyed the long leg to 6, but was a bit wide at the end. Blitzed 7, winning the split by over a minute and was now in 2nd. 8 was a long leg across featureless terrain, ran fairly hard hoping to relocate, was a bit to the right but recognised where I was. However, now I was stuffed and had to walk the last two legs with breath problems, losing my previous advantage and finished in 3rd. Later a blow-in (one of the course setters - how was he official?) came in a few seconds ahead.
