Aranda PS. Just too slow. A couple of hesitations. Took a few seconds to find the start and no. 1 on the map (-10s). Slow up the hill to the pre-school. Got to 21, but there was a crowd of people blocking the stairs, so went back around and under (-10s). Another use of the "under" description that I had never seen until last Wednesday. Went off the map to 23, avoiding the stupid new (well old but revamped) "Passable wall" symbol which looks dark and foreboding (-10s). Possibly should have gone anti-clockwise to get to 30? It looks shorter now. 18th again.

Stromlo Criterium. C grade, 20 laps, lasted a bit longer this time, dropped with 4 laps to go. Quite windy and I think that helped me survive the first half at about 40kmh. Then they eased off and I thought maybe I could get to the end with the bunch. No, another 40kmh lap and then I got cut off on a corner by a tiring guy. Got back on but only lasted half a lap.

Test run to see if anyone had collected the control I saw out there on Sunday. They had.

Radford College, M1. Okm 3.8 (!), GPS climb 46m. Quite slow and made a couple of small mistakes. Whats surprising is how little difference any of that made - I was 22nd overall and 22nd to no.1. After the error at 4 I was in 26th place and basically stayed there all the way just passing a couple of people who self-destructed. Mistakes: #4 - (-30 seconds) orienteered to the centre of the circle and no flag. There were steps there so ran to the bottom and looked up, but didn't see the flag. Back to where I was and a bit further, nothing, back to the base of the steps and up a couple, yep there it was at the top. #15 - (-30 seconds) orienteered to the centre of the circle and no flag. There were steps there - had a look over the side but nothing. Then had a look at the description - a pictorial "under" that I have never seen before. Had I realised it was on the lower level, a route choice across the covered area car park would have been far better. #26 - (-30 seconds). A good leg and I missed both the faster route choices (straightish with no climb, and right).

Decided to avoid the gravelly roadworks on the GDE, but William Hovell and Gininderra Dr have way too much glass, so won't be doing this route anytime soon.
