To the Pseud-O

Bigger group there tonight, James, Clara, Keely, Toph and Birchy, so plenty of Choices to run with, consensus seem to be around the lake, so of we went, James went a different way at one stage, so he was out of the race, Toph dropped of, so now down to 3, then Keely and Birchy, who had been running very well, were always out in front, went a different way to the one I had planned, so I stuck to my way, and came out well in front. Cruised through the last 4 controls to take the win.

Collected a few controls, then headed home

Event: The Attackpoint 1600m Time Trial Challenge
 

Working with Peta Whitford, put out some controls, then roamed around the forest, getting kids back going the way they should.

Was out there for 2 hours, but mostly walking, so cant log it as real exercise

REST DAY

I needed it

Set the alarm for 6, but it was to dark to read anything, so waited for 10 mins, and set out. Couldn't read the map, or the terrain for the 1st 10 mins, but knowing the sites already made it easier. Finally started to run abit, but was concerned that time wasn't on my side. Managed to get all the gear out with a little time to spare

Bought in some controls

Event: BendiGoToDay
 

Ran around all the controls, checking there position, and turning them on in preparation for the race

Once the 1st race was packed up, went out to Smiths Reef to put out the SI and the flags, but it was already to dark to read a map without the Headlamp, so had something to eat, and got going at 10. Tried to find the gully to put out #56, 1st try, I curled around and was a gully early, 2nd try, I went to high, missed the top of the gully, and hit the road on the east side of the map, so came at it a 3rd time from below, the hardest option, and finally found it. Went to head back to the car, and the battery died, so I was left 500m from the road, and it was as dark as dark.

Had to then find North using the stars, and stumbled back towards the car, once I got to the road, had to work out if I was to the left or right of the car, choose left, and i was right

C • good rogaining practice! 1

REST DAY:
Well not really, lots of chasing around for the ToDay, and....

My power meter is now spinning the other way. Got Solar cells on the roof, didn't take them long, arrived at 12, and by 4, I was back feeding into the grid.
Be interesting to watch, to see if I am a net user of electricity. Or will I come out in front, and become a supplier
