| another cold one,
chronic climb to the start, short first one down the spur before a long one across the other side of the map. 1st starter was pretty lonely on the way across the map, was surprised to find a combi parked just below 3 in the middle of nowhere beside the creek, cant imagine how the hell they got there. and from the amount of crap they had spread out they weren't planning on leaving anytime soon. from how cold it was at the start i didn't have high expectations, but the course was really good and the toes warmed up bout 15mins in so turned out to be pretty enjoyable running. climbing out of the main creek at 13 was made pretty pointless when i realized that control was now directly below me in the next erosion, some would call how i got down falling, i prefer sliding with style. it ended well so was worth it going straight down rather than around to find an easier way into the erosion gully. perked up with the arrival of the gold mining area and the control in the wicked cutting and tunnel area (see pics http://picasaweb.google.com/steventodkill/OphirDig...) just that little bit of gold mining would have made the weekend worth the cold, even without Kahli's Rocks the day before. | ||

| Kahli's Rocks
Cold and windy day, but did nothing to curb the excitement of running at on this map again. Was probably too excited and was pretty sloppy navigation at the start, the rocks quickly punishing me for not showing the proper respect. Cracker of a map and good course setting did it justice. pity it was the short day, would have liked some more time out there. really enjoyed the variety where it changed out of the detailed rock for the fast loop at the end. | ||
| Note | |
| Headed out to camp at Ophir, without the usual excitement i get when the forecast predicts snow. wrong situation for that crap
after a pretty darn cold night woke to find that the big guy had taken pity on the minions and thought it was a better idea to keep the snow for a later date, hopefully when im in NZ | ||

Tuesday May 13 | ||
| Road Cycling 1:12:30 [3] | |
| shoes: Merida Scultura 907 | ||
| had a graduate promo night at work so got swamped by a "tour" of the office, took that as my sign that 7.30 was a late enough time to be working back.
ended up with more time in the night than i though so filled it by getting on the road. pretty quite on the industrial drive loop, which made for a nice and relaxing cruise. tried to stretch it out a bit a few times by was feeling sluggish, guess the body was thinking it was relaxing time since it was after dinner and a few days of lazyness prior | ||
