After the Victoria Park rogaine and my win in the last 1 hour rogaine I did, I had huge expectations of a good result again. It was a nice warm clear night and the map looked like a great course.
As the event started, I ran off in completely the opposite direction to everyone else. While I would normally be worried by this, I was confident in my plan and my navigation despite it being completely dark. I grabbed my first set of points and then somehow managed to rejoin everyone else at the front of the field. I quickly found the next few points then continued off on my plan.
Despite the map looking deceptively easy, the terrain had some interesting features and made for some fun navigation. There were a lot of people who were struggling to find the checkpoints while I was flowing around the course accurately and fast. The only mistake I made was running past one checkpoint I had planned to get at the end before my time ran out. Despite this I still finished with 540 points which meant I was first in the 1 hour event, 120 points in front of 2nd, and an additional 110 points in front of 3rd.
