Orienteering race (Aus middle) 1:02:30 [3] ***** 6.5 km (9:37 / km)
Holy F#*k! I'm getting real sick of one or two legs absolutely send me from top 20ish results to last 5 results...
Started out real smooth apart from a wabble on #3. Went awesome then punched 7 an thought I'd punched 8 (yep) and proceeded to spend 8 minutes absolutely ruining my course on possibly the easiest control on course. Then fine if a little slower to 18z splits were consistent but had 0 confidence so I kept checking boulders that I knew weren't the control or some reason... Losing dumb seconds. Then #19 where I decided 7 minutes wasn't enough I should add another 11 minutes of errors to really f#^k my course up. Went too far left going down that hill and for some reason decided to ignore huge pointers that told me I was well off. So after that I was about 18 minutes behind where I could have been. Rest of the course was alright. I just don't get why every time I lose contact I make an error that is almost 20% of the entire race...

Running warm up/down 15:00 [2] 2.5 km (6:00 / km)
shoes: Salomon s-lab
Orienteering (Hard 5 from SL10) 44:34 [4] **** 6.57 km (6:47 / km)
shoes: Salomon s-lab
Decided to head out to mullion creek to do the course from State league 10. I think I may have edged out my dad by a little bit had I been there on the day :P Map is an old one mapped by local guy Basil Baldwin. Some areas of the map felt funny especially scale (or maybe I'm just really unfit) and rock. But it was nice to go for a plod, still being very careful not to aggravate the achilles. Heaps of trees had fallen over in recent wind in the pines which was interesting. Hopefully I go alright in the middle champs.

Running (Mount Canobolas Summit) 56:30 [3] 8.4 km (6:44 / km) +450m 5:18 / km
shoes: Salomon s-lab
Got sick of not running at all for so long so I decided to hit up mount Canobolas from the bottom to the summit. Only 4.2km from bottom to top but the route was super direct and 30% in parts. Stopped twice on the way up to rest the Achilles. Both lower calves felt a bit rough on the way up. Good to get out.
