| Well, managed to have one goodish run for the week. Didn't really make any errors until 9, when I exited the control in a very weird direction, quickly realised what I was doing and corrected myself. Stuffed around a bit at 14, Anna and Kirsten caught me here and stuck with them until 16. Ok until the 2nd last control where I don't know what I did, but I'm sure I lost a reasonable amount of time :(
Pretty much got in the car as soon as I finished and headed off to Swan Hill for the night. |

| Due to my terrible performances over the previous days had a fairly early start. Main aim was to concertrate on navigation today and not running, this wasn't a problem given steepness of the terrain! Was pretty happy with the run, did slow at the end.
Overall it was a very disappointing Easter for me, not sure what went wrong. Physically I was feeling ok at the start, I know I lack speed at the moment so will have to work on that. But my navigation was just bad. Mentally I don't think I was there either. |
