NSW Sprint champs. Nice map on UNSW campus and good course. One mistake on 9 to 10 leg. Missed a stairwell and took the longer way plus drifted. About 2 + minutes lost. Loved the coffee shop 30 minutes from the finish control. Watch end of NOL race which was good with Oscar winning for the Western Nomads team. Nice social gathering as well. Did not notice the knee - maybe distracted by a good course.

Race 3 Hard2A - Splits

Sprint event at a park in Botany, Sydney. First run and race since Tassie. Rusty leaving the triangle as it required a near 180 degree turn then ran for a small path until I hit sand dune area! Stuffed the first control as it involved passing 2 others first, both of which were not easy to recognise on the map. Dunes for the first 7 controls. Settled down after control 1and spiked the rest, including the control on the elephant (sculpture). Were able to watch the elites finish the last few controls on their course before our start. Pretty warm conditions but a bit of a breeze helped. Overall happy with the run. Knee held up but not sure it is 100% still. NSW Sprint champs tomorrow.

Race 2 Hard2A - Splits

Another walk around a different part of the day 2 Easter 2016 area to see what point features available for course setting. Reassuring to be able to find plenty available but no charcoal burning grounds sighted so far. Got a progress report from Alex and 2 sq/km remapped so far.

Peleton of 4 - joined by Vern V with Brad still o/s. Nice riding conditions but the whole team felt the effects of a week or so of the bikes. Most slowed for a back marker but Peter used this as an opportunity to make a breakaway. Peloton edicit was restored when he got to the coffee stop well before the rest of us but then did put in an advance order and pay. Nice long coffee break to help recovery mid ride - and lots of stories to share including about Paul's recent walk in Nepal. Very enjoyable.

Ride to Woden Library and back - lovely day for a ride.
