| Running around the Woodend forest marking control sites. Didn't make any mistakes, which was quite pleasing especially since I didn't have my compass. Obviously I'll have to make the courses harder. |

| Winter Rogaine. A pretty good day, exploring the coastal hills and pockets of native forest around Cheviot. And the weather was lovely, I wasn't even cold wearing only a thin shirt for the whole 12 hours. Not even when I went swimming in the stagnant pond.
Sadly my navigation was a bit dodgy in the night, losing about 10 maybe 15mins over 3 controls. The most amusing being on #54 where Carsten and I were standing around at the bottom of the right reentrant waiting for Jenni&Cris, and I thought that there would be a bigger one just around the corner. Carsten was rightly chastised for following me and losing a good 90secs.
Overall the lack of suffering meant it never quite seemed like a rogaine, although Cris might disagree. Hopefully I'll rectify that in the Maori rogaine by teaming up with Joe. Although, if we want to get anywhere close to Greig, then both of us will have to harden the frog up. |

| Nice little bunch ride. Made it a bit easier for myself by taking a shortcut across to Living Springs and then riding easily until caught. The advantage of this (and my recent slackness) meant that I was quite fresh and managed to get a few victories on the minor hills. A good change for a win today up Evans, but I was too soft and had to settle for second as my legs faded over the last 20m. |
