| Twalk - lots of running round the hills.
The first leg was quite nice except the first control was not there and the 4th control was marked incorrectly and was not anywhere near the center of the circle. Somehow we ended up first after this leg even though we were just going cruisy. I think it was due to Tim's ability to find controls quickly. I could get us to the control site but he always found the controls first. The second leg was more of a running leg with lots of easy to find controls. Others found this leg a bit boring but I actually enjoyed not having to hunt for 30mins to try and find a control. The navigation could have been a bit tougher but the leg was designed for the slower teams who were doing it at night. We were still just cruising on this leg too but were still first at the end of the leg. Leg three sucked, well parts of it were nice but we spent way to long looking for controls that either weren't there or the cryptic clue wasn't useful. Trying to find a small bit of plastic on a reed ín a gully of reeds in the dark with a clue of "where the bush joins" wasn't fun. Spent about 6.5hrs out on a course that should have been 4hrs long at the most. Lost motivation after this stage so we had a wee sleep and then did a few controls on leg 4 before losing motivation again and heading back for a second sleep. Couldn't be bothered going out on leg 5 even though there were some easy controls. Need to sort out my feet a bit better so they don't go so soft and somehow tape my little toes to avoid blisters. Looking forward to next weekend, except I saw a comment elsewhere about running on roads and paths. :-( | ||

| Road Bike 2:35:00 [4] 76 km (2:02 / km) | |
| Normal Long Bays bunch ride. Felt pretty slow up Gebbies then suffered my way round the hills until I dropped my chain. Then ended up riding by myself, a bit of a pity really as I could have stayed with the bunch today I think.
I seem to have this pain in my chest for most of the ride and still now. Not sure what it is but it isn't very comfortable and is making it a bit hard to breath properly. Hopefully it will settle itself down. | ||
