| started the race pretty slowly, my heel was real painful and i'd heard it was difficult in the beginning... then wasted a lot of time, like everyone else, trying to find the wrongly placed 1st control in the fern jungle. then battled around with more dodgy controls and taking route choices through green and felled areas not shown on the map... my heel just got too painful so i pulled out. lucky for me and the bushrangers (ned kelly and frankie gardiner didnt finish either) the race was so dodgy the results arent counting anyway. |

| Test Match at Woodhill. Started real good, wasnt moving super quick but going along ok. had a bit of a lead at about half way i think but then i caught carsten and everything starting going wrong, for both of us... made heaps of mistakes, lost at least 3 mins all up on 3 controls and just struggled home after. unfortunately the end of the course was just running, dont know why they didnt use all the awesome forest there... |

| test match at aramiro. started fast and held it together until about the half way point where we had a spectator control and map change. then started getting real messy and didnt push that hard, but avoided the big mistakes and finished with a solid result. |

| loops race at kairangi. planned to just cruise this, i didnt think i'd last the week running everything hard. lost a bit of time early and dropped about 100m behind simon and ross, and ran most of the course with carsten and mark lawson with that gap in front of us. i messed up the 3rd last with a dumb mistake so dropped a minute or so on ross and simon but held the others off for 3rd... |

| Test Match Sprint in Waikato University. Ran good, lost confidence on the way to the first and punched the girls control but only lost a few seconds. got slowed down a bit in the end trying to pass kez and karl - i'd catch them then lose time as they punched the single SI unit mounted in a spring. i just couldnt get in front to punch before them... |
