A beautiful day to wander around looking at rocks and things and deciding exactly where the landscape would be aesthetically improved by adding a small orange and white flag. Out there 6 hours but enough time spent standing still and thinking (or eating) to reduce that a bit...

C • where? 4

Brooklyn - a typical central Wellington mix of long, sometimes round-about road and track runs and a bit of bushbashing (distance travelled will be much more than red-line distance today!). Legs not quite as shocked as they were at the gardens the other day but still a lot more walking than there should have been. Better orienteering habits too, probably helped by the predominantly long, easily simplified legs in the early part of the course and by the time I hit the last little intensive section in the school, I was way too stuffed to outrun my map-reading... Over-ran #1 through not having my head into the scale once I needed to get off the main paths, #4 apparently the relatively direct contour-through-light-green was not the best option here as Simon Rea re-caught me here by going about 3 times the distance! And 6 again could have saved time on the final approach by going around rather than through the rough stuff.
