| Getting ready for Newcastle OY at 'Sugarloaf No.1'. scene of day 5 of the 2007 Xmas 5-days. Not an area I enjoy, but looking forward to the challenge. However, spent most of the time jogging, running patterns and worrying about the rock in the nth west corner of the map. Two times before have lost enormous amounts of time in there!! |

| I was very happy with my work in the spur / gully sections of the course. However, my greatest fear was realised - 8 of the last 10 controls in the rock detail in the nth west map section. I completely stuffed it up - yet again. I know I lost at least 18 minutes on one competitor I had caught earlier - throw in going from 10 to 12, forgetting 11 - no point going on - I was yet again pathetic. Brutal course from Peter - he certainly put me to the sword today. Two events in less than 12 months on this map is two too many - in my opinion. |

| No time really - 'lil nic' and 'Kazza' had to get to a Netball game - that will teach me to finish so late. |

| Before this arvos Newcastle X-Country event at Grahamstown. Jogging, running patterns, run throughs, stretching. Beautiful Hunter afternoon. |

| This course was meant to be 10km!!!!! Headed east from the start to a turn around point, and then back through the start area. Continue west, to a turn around point, and then home to make 10km. Less than a km into the western section we all got completely bamboozled - no official or signs at what was obviously a crucial turning point on the course. As we left the event, I noticed a guy heading off where so many had incorrectly gone, with a measuring wheel!!! Obviously officials are determined that results will stand for this new, medium long course. What a worry - I get lost without a map in my hand as well. However, I do feel comfortable knowing at least 20 other runners made the same mistake. Guessing we did around 7km in the end - I wasn't feeling that great and was starting to fatigue badly, so probably got lucky with the shortened distance. |
