Event: Metro Round 4, Junior League
 

Allambie Heights, Metro League, Div. 2. Ran off the map before no. 1. When I got back on the map I arrived at a 5-way junction, so I thought I was still off the map, because there were none marked. I wasn't - stood still for one and a half minutes placing myself at the 4-way junction that was on the map. Then I overshot the control when I eventually did go off down the right track. Not a great start.

Division 2 - Splits

Big Foot Akuna Ride. Shortcut the Akuna part. Dropped socks from my light holder bidon and had to return to pick them up.

Event: Brisbane Midweek
 

Botanic Gardens, Brisbane. Lunchtime low key event. Had a couple of issues with the map (-30 secs each) where the map had uncrossable/out of bounds mapped where it was the only way to go. Made one serious mistake on my own (-1 min).
The flags were the small ones (10cm) and I had to carry my punch card free in one hand (no stretch band). Long time since I had to use actual punches.
Low Key Indeed - they managed to add 7 minutes to my time, and rub out my club!
