Most complex gold mining terrain that I have seen compensated by a good sunny day. Slow start and a drift to the north made things more difficult than should have been. Errors on legs 1,8,9,12 puts me back in the field 24th /36

Event: Oceania Long & Middle Distance Champs
 

Dreadful weather cold and raining. the 6m in the start shute was painful. Rained most ofthe way, the worst however was brushing past some of the bushes which felt like a bucket of cold water. Course 10 was unimaginative with no significant route choices. Vegetation had had become thicker since we were last here in 2009. The Granite Terraine is familiar to Wa runners. Took early controls easy but soon became difficult to read th map with water on the glasses. Three mistake totaling 6-10m. Finished with numb and cold hands and feet and barely funtioning brain. One of the coldest events I have participated in.

Still finished well above the middle of a field (13th) of 36. Slow to put the results on the web
