Day 3 - Crusoe.
Super-fast spur-gully area with some erosion features later in the course. The first control was so easy (along a fence) that I got worried that I was following the wrong fence or something, and then saw a depression so had a peer in, nothing, so I started peering in 10 or more depressions until eventually I came to the one with a flag in it. Doh! So already 1min down I raced as hard as I could to see how far I could get before Lizzie caught me a minute. I got most of the way to c6. The rest of the course was also very fast and I could catch glimpses of Lizzie for the remainder, although she remained 30secs or so ahead of me the whole way. Flags were hung high so no further mistakes on the course. Finished 3rd on the day and 2nd overall for the carnival.
