Mod-Week Event, Daisy Hill State Forest, Brisbane
12:00 Thursday 27th July 2006
"Daisy Hill State Forest" 2001 1:10,000 5m
UBD 223 B20 21km SE of Brisbane CBD
"Long" 4.2km 160m climb (3.8%)
A very clean run although it was generally agreed that the map is iffy at 2 which was closer and lower than expected.
Thanks to the Leungs for the event (their first) and Malcolm Milner for the map.

State Event, One Mile Creek, Cashmere, Brisbane
12:00 Sunday 23rd July 2006
"One Mile Creek" 1993 1:10,000 5m
UBD 107 A6 20km NW of Brisbane CBD
"Red 3" 4.1km 220m climb (5.4%)
I ran with SuYan as a coaching opportunity. On 1 we tried to follow the gully to the north instead of just running down the spur but that didn't work very well and we found ourselves left of the control to little cost in time. Our only other problem was on 2>3 where I briefly mistook the NE-SW gully 200m before the control for the main gully under the control.
This would have been a technically easy course were it not for the relatively thick understory - this map also needs a burn - which made almost all legs challenging. 67 minutes is a terrible 16mpk although we were coaching rather than competing and it's pretty steep.

Mid-Week Event, Stockyard South, Burbank
12:00 Thursday 20th July 2006
"Stockyard South" 2004 1:10,000 5m
UBD 223 D1 19km SE of Brisbane CBD
"Long" 3.8km 125m climb (3.3%)
4>5 I went right of the hill and down the long straight track to the control;
5>6 back up the same track;
7>8 left of the hill;
8>9 I considered going back up the same track but instead went right of the hill then I screwed up the compass work from the track bend into the control and found number 4 again first.
I came about 5th behind Greg, Mike and a bunch of youngsters who reminded us all of our mortality by thrashing us. - well done Ollie.
Thanks to Rob for the map and Bev and Doug for the event.

Badge Event, Flagstone West, Jimboomba
09:00 Sunday 16th July 2006
"Flagstone West" 2005 1:10,000 5m
UBD 301 D17 40km S of Brisbane CBD
"Red 7" (burgling) 4.3km 102m climb (2.5%)
Foot still hurting so I burgled a short Red. This area badly needs a burn - visibility is fairly bad and the terrain vague and rolling in places. I made the same forced error twice, looking for a point feature on a broad vague gully at both 2 and 6.
Thanks Rob for the event.

Good fun. I took the track all the way round to the south on both 8>9 and 10>11.
Thanks Clive for the event.

I hurt my foot two weeks ago and still can't run so this was just a stroll in the park.
