"Split Rock", Cootamundra. M55A / Course 5: 3.6km, +220m, 12c. 33rd/51 (16:53 behind Ian Prosser ACT). 20°C. TE 3.4.
Same map as yesterday. Course a bit shorter but with more climb. No time losses according the computer. Selected for the NSW 4th III in M55A. Wiz ran a solid 45' for the 1st leg (P11/18) and I was happy with my 49' for the 2nd leg to pull us up to P8. Unfortunately Peter Hopper struggled with his #1 & #10 controls to finish in 88' to slip to P13. Apparantly our courses were essentially the same but with different S-1 & 6-7 legs.
#1 - Long uphill slog (+100m) to just above yesterday's start area. (I was stuffed before I got to today's start triangle.) #2 - Used the S creek as a bit of a hand rail. #3 - Brown snake! Down to lower WC. Compass from thicket. #4 - Straight. Boulder higher than expected (-40"). #5 - Boulders just above WC. #6 - Straight. #7 - Contour across bare rock. #8 - Crossed fence at purple line. Boulders after gully just above light green. #9 - Drifted left and low (-90"). #10 - Followed ridge line down. #11 - Steep decent (-117m). I was confident that I was going somewhere because I kept passing others on the way up. #12 - Sprint. Not tempted to hurdle the 1m fence. #F - 1" slower than yesterday.
