Walk into the Blue Gum forest with the family and the McCombs.

Easter day 3 - after a lot of hesitation, picked the radical route-choice on the long leg 1, only to lose 2 minutes at the end going through the cliff line (climbed up over an overhang using a tree).

Fortunately the rest of the top 5 didn't see the route choice and the subsequent mistakes at 2 & 3 left me in 4th and 4th overall, letting Michael B through for 3rd.

I caught Tim Hatley twice - the second time on the start of the long and very hilly 9-10 leg, so I stuck behind him on the uphill and used my longer legs to get away from him on the 400m of downhill.

Day 3 9 Hard - Splits

Switch to new shoes.

Pretty clean run, got lucky in a few places and ran hard through the rocky section at the start (2-5), out to track for 6 then careful on the legs over the flat vague stuff.

2nd to Jimbo, 2:29 down.

Day 2 Course 9 - Splits

Easter Day 1, control 1 - long leg, tried to avoid a gully near the start and managed to have an epic first leg, losing 9 or 10 minutes, having lost contact completely.

Rest of the course was OK, managed to force myself to run hard, losing a bit of time at the end through tiredness, but 10th, over 12 minutes down.

Usual start to Easter.,

Course 9 day1 - Splits

Event: Easter 2014
 

Easter prologue - came out of the start box just behind shingo who was starting the same course as part of the family relays. Fast head-to-head, but a bit messy.

Good warm-up.
