Bryces flat NOL sprint.
I love bush sprints, no time to get bored! Pretty happy with this run, a little unsure on a few but mostly got it right- except #5 where I ran up the wrong gully losing about 90secs (Kathryn and Rachel were even further to the left which put me off i think, i knew my direction was a bit wrong so should have stopped to get it right.)
Was surprised to catch and overtake so many people but it gave me confidence to trust my self and no one else out there :) i guess the terrain suits me as i felt like i could still move pretty quickly thru the rock.

NOL relay leg 1.
Really stupid route choice on the first (long) leg lost me a fair bit of time. Didnt think about rc enough and peeled off the pack to run straight (over the spurs and through shitty creek) instead of seeing the track options. I realised halfway through the leg and was feeling very pissed off, though quite a few ppl seemed to be going the same way. Ran very hard for the rest of it and caught up some time. Navigation was good except for that rc.

NOL relay leg 3.
Back on the 1:5 000 map. Again not sure that my route choice to #1 was the best- this time a took the track to the right but think I would have been faster straight. Went out just behind Kathryn and a few others but managed to push my self really well and overtook them. Didnt see Tracy and Shannon who were a way infront I think.

Chewton Diggings NOL hagaby.
Very happy with this race, I was especially surprised at how much I could push myself! My orienteering was pretty clean and I seemed to be thinking ahead well. Was surprised to keep getting back to the spectator controls at the same time as Shannon and Kathryn who seemed to mostly be on different loops. On the last loop i though i would get dropped on the long spur gully legs and kathryn did but shannon and I were together till halfway thru the second long leg. Happy with route choicees. If only there were a few more controls at the end i might have had a chance to catch up! 1min down on Kathryn.
