Cool, overcast and drizzly so a perfect day for a walk in the park. Overdressed AGAIN but also hadn't planned on any running of quantity (rarely of quality).
Was just aiming for the range of 40-42.
S-1 9:58
1-2 7:53 (17:51)
2-T 3:53 (21:44)
T-3 4:25 (26:11)
3-4 8:27 (34:38)
4-5 7:28 (42:07)
All sectors about 25 sec slower than last week, except for T-3. All in the mindset - which today was happy and peaceful and not beating myself up.

Didn't really plan on going out on the Rogaine - because I'm Admin aren't I - but when all 19 teams had departed and everything settled there was a great enticement to get a map and go exploring. I found a lovely path and would have scored 40 points - which wouldn't have placed me last by any stretch. This was the Volunteers Thank You with a twist - the rogaine could be done alone with score doubled - so I would have got 80; or in pairs so scores doubled or as a team so scores cumulative. The participants could use any form of transport with no penalty so kayaks, unicycles, bikes, e-bikes, cars, swim, SUP and even feet. A 30 point/min late penalty caught a few out! 2 hour time limit and then a feast with a whole 50 sec of speeches. The overcast and slightly damp atmosphere was beautiful and a little of the afternoon was spent sitting beside a waterfall... thinking.
I wish I could have mastered the camping booking section as Crosslands Reserve is beautiful. No leeches or mossies encountered but I suspect anyone there on Tuesday will find some lurking.
Talk about fire/map/area loss and also the possibility of a Bourke NSW Champs - and feelers put out about me attending. Very interested, depending on timing.
