| NOL in the pine. Great first loop, slight hesitation on number 8. Picked up my second map and completely fell to bits. Lost 10 or 11 minutes on my first control in the second loop, a rock cluster on a flattish spur. No idea what happened there but it wasn't good. Rest of the run was clean so very frustrating. |

| Canberra Uni Sprint. Great on all but one control, lost about a minute and twenty seconds because I became totally bamboozled by a round building which was marked as square, and failed to see the wall marked in front of it. Rest of the course was fine. |

| Time and distance estimations...anyway the idea was we ran loops with a partner, and pushed each other to run as fast as we could. I went with Rachel. Had a small stuff up on the first loop, then had a couple on the second loop and Rachel got away. Third loop was map memory, did pretty well on that one. |

| Night-O! Simulating low-vis in Sweden. I had an awful run, I think I was just tired and I got confused by tracks. Interesting experience anyway. |

| Everything came unstuck at the spectator control. Hit one and two straight on, then decided to go around to the right of the hill to number three. Headed up from the fence at a patch of bare rock and then completely lost my head. Instead of relocating I ran around in circles for a while, then finally decided to head out to number 4 on the fence crossing and head back in from there.
Oh well, the rest of the course was really good, it's just annoying to know that the extra 7 minutes could have put me in much better stead. |

| Not a very good run. Steady to number one, but on the way to number two managed to convince myself I'd reached a saddle which I hadn't, then contoured around a knoll too early. Don't know how I worked it out, but I did.
Number three was another mistake, followed down a gully without an exit point and ended up confused and far too low.
Had a few fast legs then except I ran hard on our long leg to 5 but managed to go up the wrong watercourse near the control so lost a bit of time.
Changed my plan at number 8 and ended up very confused, kept trying to make things match. Headed out to the top of the knoll to work it out. Found it eventually!
Rest of the run was alright. |

| Ugh, not a good run. Went hard at the start and went totally spaz at number 5. Instead of slowing down I ran hard to make up for it and made a stupider mistake at number 10. In summary, you should not make four minutes worth of mistakes in a sprint. |

| NOL at Beckworth. Pretty great run. Felt good, read the terrain well. One fairly large mistake on number 14, which was on the second loop, lost about 3 minutes because I didn't concentrate enough coming down the hill. I had the steeper loop first which I was very grateful for! About another 30 seconds to a min in mistakes from just being too high/low but otherwise I was very pleased. |
