Fantastic day, with great views. The first few were pretty easy, then most of the others were also pretty easy, as they hadn't really utilised the best of a superb area. Still much better than looking for caravan wrecks and large piles of woods in leicester. A bit rough, lost 30s at 8, trying to line something up badly, and 30s at 17, stopping too early, and another 30 s at 20 (too far left). Felt pretty flat, maybe developing a cold. Grace was moving maybe a tad quicker, but made a couple of slighty bigger errors. Got beaten by some old bloke from NGOC. I suppose if craney hadn't had a smash with a rock he might have done about 40.
Very relevant for NZ nats, which was good (though prob a bit more difficult :-)
Note
now have a quite a sore throat, and a cold, ah well could be far worse times to get a cold. Next training in Nelson on friday!!
Anyone got a quick LH silva thumb compass of the southern variety I can borrow for nats!?
