Awesome course. Was expecting more green, but didn't really go through much. The course was really well set, it never got boring and there werent many places where you could just run and keep in contact with the map.

No. 1 was abit crap. Wasted about 30 seconds just here. No. 8 went into the fence too early. Caught Aaron going to No. 10. Caught Matt coming out of 11. No. 12, it seemed to me that the control was to close to the cliffs. Wasted easy 2 minutes. No. 17 came in to high, saw Olly lookng for it, realised I was to high and went down, still had abit of trouble with it. Lost maybe a minute. From 22 onwards it seemed abit slower, with 1 hill beging climbed 3 times.

Overall great job at setting the courses, easily the best course I've run there. Was very enjoyable.

From Camp to Ferny. Train to Wilston. Ride round city, so many people from the parade.

Train from Bowen Hills to Strathpine. Ride to Brendale BMX track. Ride around BMX track, raced some 10 year old. I beat him :)

Around Bunya.

Did the Mid-week Bunyaville Course after it had finished. Quite a nice course, less hills then I was expecting. There was crap everywhere on the ground from the storms though, so it was uite hard running. Map felt dodge around no.6...

Same course as the Bunyaville event 1 week before easter. I had a different map and it had some old tracks marked on it and some new ones not marked. So here I am running up a hill suddenly a track... ah I must be here....run up the track abit to where the control should be...track junction.... thats not right run back..... its right..... go into the bush..... wrong watercourse, run to the next one.......... wrong again........ back to track, then track junction........ and realise, stupid old maps and me taking to much notice of tracks....:(, the rest was fine.

Was beating my last time by 5 minutes at number 7....

Noooooooooooooooooooo back to school :' /
