OY2 in woodhill.

Pretty poor effort. Started off getting confused on first 2 controls and wasted quite a few minutes sorting things out only to hit the maze. Ended up spending ~38 minutes on 3 controls each of which were only ~100m apart. Very annoyingly I was within a few meters of each of the 3 controls several times but just couldn't manage to stumble upon them. Had a number of relocation attempts from different directions before eventually finding each of them. Not surprisingly this was a wee bit demotivating.

Once I'd eventually extracted myself from the maze I did feet like giving up and walking back but decided to keep going. Things did get a bit better and the rest of the course was OK(ish) but rather slow.

I've come to the conclusion that I'm not really good enough to handle the maze - I've had complete cock-ups every time I go in there. So next time they put a course through the maze I will either:

1) Skip those controls, I'll get a MP but it'll be much more enjoyable.
2) Not do a course that goes in there (maybe I'll end up with an orange course?)
3) Don't bother turning up

Domain and Mt Eden

domain and through to Newmarket to pick up my bike seat which will probably have to be replaced as it has a tear in it that can't really be fixed. Only option was to recover the whole thing but the glue he'd have to use would probably melt in the sun, then get all over my shorts and... I think I'll have to splash out and get a new one

Walk around Whakarewarewa in Rotorua on the way back from Taupo. Good to get some air in to blow the cobwebs out a bit after a disjointed sleep getting up to watch our guys draw with the Italians :-)
