Around the river and Mt Henry bridge, chasing JB's group. Went through Subi about 20 mins behind them, and caught them in Applecross, but only because one of them had a puncture. Otherwise would probably have caught them around the Narrows.

C • Catching groups 1

Metro Series race at Ellenbrook, back on the long course this week in 4th place. Determined not to drop a control for as long as possible, and cleaned up all the controls West of the Start, then back across the top of the map. This meant I could leave out the NE section, plus one of the controls on the lakes. In retrospect, could have got both those instead of 19, but it wouldn't have mattered as I was 2 minutes behind 3rd. Must have gained some points on MTBJen. Slight loss of concentration near the end, not reading the map at 13 and found myself on the wrong side of a pond - must concentrate harder next week.

C • Easy to make points when the competiton is not at the event 3

Setting Trail-Nav course at Manning Park. Running for first 30 mins with 2-3 short stops, then running/walking/stopping to do simple map corrections.

Mid-week Series event at Kingsway, actual distance 5.97km - quite a few legs where I may have taken a different route - be interesting to see the others choices. Not many people there - a pity as a bit of remapping was necessary, and some thought was put into the courses.

C • Courses 7

Kings Park lap, surprised by the time as it didn't seem quicker than the past few weeks.
