Orienteering race 14:56 [3] 2.0 km (7:28 / km)
QBIII - Day 1 at Brummagen Creek
Beautiful weather conditions for fun sprint event in fast terrain with some erosion gullies and 2 bridge underpasses. Only handicap were those vicious Tiger prickly pears that stung quite a bit and grass seeds that reminded us of Easter up in Queensland. 15 minutes racing time followed by 45 minutes of grass seed picking... - Started off slow and steady and caught up to Alison Inglis after which we had fun racing together. Very happy with run and was 2 mins ahead.
Herman Wehner's 90th birthday attracted local media and we all sang for him before he gave a lengthy interview. I want to be like Herman when I grow up. I probably have to reduce my alcohol intake to keep some brain cells as sharp as Herman's.

Jim Sawkins Memorial Handicap
Windy, wet and slippery conditions on Isaac's Ridge - a remapped area by Hugh More. The course was quite challenging physically but also included some technically interesting controls. - Just glad I had still had some long distance muscle fibres left after TNF50.
I had a pretty good run finding most controls spot on, one sinking feeling of oh no, I have lost it again ... turned around there it was tucked in behind a massive big boulder.
The same sinking feeling of it should be here again at control #19. Scratched around for about 4 minutes only to realise I was very close to the control in the first place and should have just trusted myself and walked a few steps further.
Won division 2 handicap by 17 secs. Sorry Stephen. Sometimes it pays to be old(er).
