Tried to avoid the hills this time around.
Got all the controls I had planned to get (all but 6 of them).
Had a little bit of trouble on one of the controls which was hidden right in the middle of a big patch of green. Lots of wasps around too.
The rest of the navigation was really good, nailed pretty much every other control.
Was a lot warmer than it had been in Christchurch last weekend so struggled a little bit in that regard.
Managed to win again... although I was the only official competitor in W20...

First K was on pace, but knew from before I started that I was unlikely to do very well.
Struggled to breath properly, just found I wasn't getting the oxygen I needed and felt like I would pass out during the last lap.
I don't think it is a loss of fitness.
I have been feeling really crappy all week, just haven't had the energy levels to do anything really. Likely to be low iron levels.
Finished the 3k anyway but just left it at that rather than doing the extra intervals I was thinking of doing.

C • Energy 2

A lot harder to do in the dark, dodging people and cars, trying to read the map with the torch glare, trying not to trip down any stairs or over any uneven ground.
But regardless was pretty cool and heaps of fun.
Had a few little errors and hesitations and route choice mistakes.
