14c shoes: Inov-8 X-Talon 212 #2
Qld Middle Distance Champs at Spillway Common, Wivenhoe.
Fun course. Area was nicer than it looked but just as hilly as promised.
Was weird coming back to orienteering here, was messing with my brain a little. Run was a bit scrappy. #1 came up way sooner than I expected and from then on I had to remember how to orienteer over here. It was weird. Mucked up #6 a little - I was in the right spot as I had been really careful with compass going up and over the hill so that I would come out just above it which was all fine, but then I got there and didn't trust myself. Not gonna lie, wasn't super keen on going the whole way down to the rock and back up so went for a wander. Should've just copped it and not hesitated but anyway. Lost about 30 secs here. Mashed my knee on a rock at #11 which was super painful but will hopefully be okay for tomorrow. Iced it on the way home so hopefully won't swell or bruise too much tonight. My way to #13 was silly, I should've gone on the track and road more instead of straight, which would've saved me time and energy. Brain was switched off a bit by this point and went and checked a random termite mound a bit out of my way to #14 because I was not thinking at all by this point. Legs were feeling better than my brain was, though the ground was so hard to run on.
Nice though and always cool to run on new maps.
