Lovely day to be running around the paddocks. I felt very slow running wise, and this was clearly a runners map, but I didn't make any mistakes navigationally so this went ok. The controls were not hidden away at all and some of them you could see from several hundred metres away, so it really was a running race! There were also a few fences, which are my biggest weakness. After asking at the start if there were any live electric fences and being told no (not on my course, anyway), I came across one very live electric fence that I had to cross twice and caused me a bit of concern trying to shimmy my way between the electric wire and the barbs. Luckily I could hear it buzzing when I first approached it... It also reminded me that this is what I hate most about rogaining! Rolled my ankle near the end and twisted my leg awkwardly, so I'll probably have some sore muscles tomorrow.
