cascades with the rest of the junior senior cyclones. couldnt find the tape at one then couldnt find the tape at 2. didnt want to start the course that badly so came home and called it a warm up

no matter how many times i run on the cascades it still amazes me that i can get lost without trying too hard. this was take 2 at the course. stuffed 1 again then stuffed 2 again (got to the same spot for 1 and a similar spot for 2, both within 10m of the tape but couldnt figure it out. grrrrr). something told me the day wasnt gunna improve much. missed 3 the first time and stood on a rock for 5 mins trying to make sense of it. turns out i ran round the wrong side of the rock the tape was on and stopped on the next pile of rocks about 25m away. got to where i thought 4 was and couldnt see it. just about to start relocating when i turned around and saw the tape a few metres behind me. got to the vicinity of 5 but couldnt find the stupid tape. im sure i was in the right spot coz everything fitted perfectly. who would have thought flouro pink tape would be so hard to find...

i figured an epic like i was headed for would have very few positive consequences so cut from 5 to 12. got 12 on the first attemp which was a nice surprise. ran past 13 while talking to mat but relocated quickly. missed 14 on the first go and spent a few minutes standing on the rock i thought it should have been on scratching my head till bridgy showed up and told me where it was. hit 15 fairly cleanly then actually managed to spike the finish (being able to see the cars from 15 helped a bit).

bit of an epic and didnt really gain much from the exercise. spose it had a bit more benefit than sitting in front of the tele. but only just...

most useful part of the excercise was collecting tapes. ran along the track through the middle to 12, then straight to 11, round the track to 10. back along the track then into 13. pushed it home from 13 to get home under 30 mins. managed to nail 3 out of 4 controls. sweet.
