Seems I didn't mispunch at the first control of the bunch start sprint at the Western Plains Zoo all those years ago. I saw the flash, heard the beep. The total faith in SI technology at the finish tent meant I was told I forgot to punch. Hard to do that in a bunch of six on a fist leg of 200 metres. So then I must have punched too quick. It wasn't an event of any importance so I sucked it up. But someone in Sweden didn't. He analysed a series of mispunches over a number of years. He downloaded controls, deeply interrogated sticks. The number of big names caught out grew. A fast New Zealander was caught by the bug in the firmware. Then a fast Brit. But when the fastest Swede was caught, the jig was up. Now SI admits there is a problem. Total rewrite of firmware is now promised. Can I have my result back?

Real Orienteering race (Tambaroora) 47:27 [4] **** 5.68 km (8:21 / km) +115m 7:35 / km
spiked:13/15c shoes: Salamon Speedcross 4 blue

Bush event #53
Australian relay M45
Really enjoyable event and terrain. Two errors, 40 seconds on the 9th and 20 seconds on 13th. Reasonably satisfied with that loss of time. Arrived at my last control immediately behind Julie and Alison. It was a long final leg to the finish that required navigation. I saw this as my only chance of besting Julie in the finish chute for the carnival. Took off at speed. No sign of her behind me as I punched the finish. Thought I finally had a win, but she had an extra control after my last one. So she won all the finish sprints.
Its not just me. In the long her finish chute time was equal to that of Ted who won the M60A. Only one other W60 came within 10 seconds of her time.

Real Orienteering (Tambaroora) 56:25 [3] **** 6.23 km (9:03 / km) +210m 7:45 / km
spiked:8/9c shoes: Salamon Speedcross 4 blue

Event #52
Aus Long M60 - Tambaroora
Almost perfect run. A small wobble on the second then spiked everything. The extra distance to a middle ensured I was further down the field than I would have liked. The lack of long running this year really showed up.
