| Placing controls. Map inadequacies became obvious by the second control so from then on I did extra distance checking and double checking and even remapping. Of course, I didn't go back and check the first control and I had placed it in an unmapped gully. A bit embarrassing. It sthe thrid time I have set a course here, and its been pressure each time with map corrections and general uncertainty under time pressure. Its the second time I have had a control in an unmapped gully here. Conclusion. Stop setting courses here and spend the time mapping it properly instead. The next big project.
The distance in this log is accurate, the time is just my guess of a reasonable approximate of how much time was spent travelling rather thinking or tieing. |

Tuesday Sep 12 |
| Running 47:00 [3]8.5 km (5:32 / km) | |

| Why do my legs feel like lead for 47 minutes? Still, the carpet of gold dust wattle looked great.
In retrospect, the leadness is my legs protecting a damaged hammy. |

| Event: Victorian State Series #10

| Running race 1:34:16 [3]*** 9.8 km (9:37 / km) +350m 8:10 / km | |

| Its been a long time since I was last at Spargo Creek. Perhaps that's a good thing. The advertised 300m climb turned out to be 350m, or I misread the event information. The killer was the last small loop that starts within sight of the finish. It had 90 metres climb. Ouch. Despite the simple terrain, made two errors of significance. One was a loss of concentration, but the other was 4 minutes looking for the first pit in the bracken. Nice to get out in the forest though. |

| Didn't really notice much at the time, but clearly I strained my right hamstring area today. That cruel last loop must be to blame! |
