Event: WARA Spring 12hr Rogaine
9 AM
Rogaine 9:21:53 [2] ** 40.59 km (13:51 / km) +996m 12:20 / km
shoes: Scarpa walking shoe
Tiger Territory 12hr (Nannup)
Planned about 29km with 1710pts plus whatever we got in town. Headed out into the nice hilly, open farmland first. Great views and easy nav. It was fun looking down into the big gullies and seeing tiny people down the bottom.
After 103 we followed tracks throughout the pines. Not entirely sure that 88 was in the right place, but it was close enough to not be an issue. Decended a STEEEEEEEP hill into 94 and then circled back into town.
Punched all of the controls and got 4 bonuses (ice creams, water, lollies and BEER!!!!!). Enjoyed the packet of S&V chips I'd packed on the way out of Nannup.
After 50 we picked up the Timberline track to 40. Well, actually not to 40 as it was the wrong track. We knew it was wrong (we turned off the main road about 10m too early) but kept on it anyway. We hit the SE end of the tracks that went to 40 eventually, so we took them straight to it.
Some more interesting track mapping around 52 and 57, where we crossed the river. Onto 81, which we missed - will be interesting to see RG if there is one because we couldn't have missed it by much.
Out to 66 and then followed some very dubious tracks through to 102, 79, 35 and 83 to be back in at 7.20pm, about an hour later than planned. Didn't really need torches (which was good as Ceri had decided that she wouldn't take one as we WOULD BE BACK BEFORE DARK!!).
10th place overall. The farm, pines and town were great fun, could have spent all day out that way. The bush was a bit crap, made crapper by the "interesting" track mapping. A great weekend away.

Event: Lake Leschenaultia
11 AM
Running 1:05:30 [3] ** 9.1 km (7:12 / km) +183m 6:32 / km
shoes: Inov8 Mudclaw 330
Long course at Lake Lesch. GPS length 11.17km.
Relatively warm day, so I didn't push too hard. Took most of the cross country options, with the exception of 10-11. Nice bit of detail around the kiosk area at the end. Good use of the area in general - thanks tRicky!
