:lol: Yeah, the value of doing all the pieces early in the season. First time I've ever done that.

I'm sure it won't last long though. The best I've ever done was 7th at year end, and that was over two decades ago. In recent years I've been finishing anywhere from 12th to 70th. It looks nice for now though. B)

I had to do the challenge early this month as it has a very local flavour. It has been chosen by a new Aussie based team.
The "Three Sisters" is an extraordinary geological formation in the Blue Mountains National Park about 90 minutes by car west of Sydney - the largest city in Australia and my hometown. They are a group of three sandstone monoliths carved by natural weathering over millennia. Well worth a visit.
The local Aboriginal people have a long-standing story about their origins and significance which is explained at the CTC site.

Did them @2:05 under control to finish.

Eased into the challenge this month so will have another couple of attempts to get it right started with an 18.5 and finished with a 17.3. The knee came thru it reasonably well so happy with that
