Event: Cancelled/Postponed: Sydney Sprint Series 2016 Race #8 - Rozelle (ULTRASPRI

Saturday Feb 27, 2016 #

Event: Lane Cove Rivergaine 2

10 AM

Rogaine race (MetroGaine) 4:39:49 [5] 40.69 km (6:53 / km) +749m 6:18 / km
spiked:52/53c shoes: Asics Kayano 20

Lane Cove Rivergaine with Mounty. Felt pretty good the whole time despite the heat. Kept a decent pace for first 2.5 hours with no time losses at any of the checkpoints. Stopped for a Cider (no beers available) just after #33 on Mowbray Road. From then on was a little slower due to heat, hills and fatigue. Only time loss was on #82 where control was supposed to be on the end of a track but it was in the bush, and the track continued a lot further (4 minutes). Ended up getting all controls in 4.39, 13 min ahead of the field. Happy not to have to run the full 6 hours today.

Event: 25th Sydney Summer Series #21 - Denistone

7 PM

Orienteering race (Sydney Summer Series #21) 43:47 [5] *** 9.14 km (4:47 / km) +150m 4:26 / km
spiked:29/29c shoes: Asics Kayano 20

Feeling a bit sluggish and tired in the heat. Really hanging for a rest week which I'll do after MetroGaine. Pretty much same course as everyone else. Couldn't decide to get #4 or not, but decided against it and then cruised the last 10 minutes to the finish. Would have been late if I decided to get it. Got 590 same as Ondrej, Steve R, Unsquashable, Richard Morris but James McQ got em all in 44.29.

Event: Sydney Sprint Series 2016 Race #7 - St Ives

6 PM

Orienteering race (Sydney Sprint Series #7) 16:14 [5] *** 3.49 km (4:39 / km) +73m 4:13 / km
spiked:17/20c shoes: Innov-8 X-Talon 212

Strapped both ankles a lot as they were feeling quite sore today. They didn't feel too bad once warmed up on the run though. Lost time on #3 too short (15 secs) and #4 followed unmapped rockline too far west (40 secs). Going round oval to finish would have also saved a few seconds. That's now the last 3 x Summer Series and 2 x Sprints a big error has been costly. Finished 4th 1 min behind Aidan, 30 secs behind Brooner and 3 sec behind Toby.

spiked:29/30c shoes: Asics Kayano 20

Felt ok and was running pretty well till lost time going to #25 from #9. Overran the turnoff and ended up a few blocks low. Once I realised should have collected #17 as I was so close to it. Prob cost 1 min. Finished 4th about 2 min behind Steve, 1 min behind James and 30 behind Richard Morris.

spiked:21/24c shoes: Asics Kayano 20

Ok run but lost time on a couple controls including 30 secs on #7. Didn't read ahead before #6 and caught caught by the olive green, then ended up going the long way round back towards #5. Went the wrong way around to #11 (15 secs), got caught on the wrong side of the olive green at #14 (15 secs). Finished 4th, Aidan-13.36, Toby-14.16, Brooner-14.39.

Event: 25th Sydney Summer Series #19 - Pennant Hills

6 PM

Orienteering race (Sydney Summer Series #19) 54:48 [5] *** 8.49 km (6:27 / km) +187m 5:49 / km
spiked:26/29c shoes: Asics Kayano 20

Fun course at Pennant Hills Park. Wasn't feeling great but tracks were pretty slow so suited me more today. Went North first. Lost time overrunning #22 (30 secs), skipped #2, lost time again overrunning #26 (90 secs), then more time on #16 as couldn't figure out what the control feature was on (60 secs). Successfully bush bashed from #16 to #19 in 5 min then clean run to home. So 590-100 for 490.

Strange results tonight. Finished 2nd but way behind 1st, 40 points behind local Jeremy Fowler but also 40 ahead of 3rd Ondrej and Toby.

Event: Sydney Sprint Series 2016 Race #5 - Pyrmont

5 PM

Orienteering race (Sydney Sprint Series #5) 18:06 [5] *** 3.79 km (4:47 / km) +124m 4:06 / km
spiked:14/15c shoes: Asics Kayano 20

Know this area really well so was good to have a route choice course to make it a bit more challenging. Missed the best route choice a few times. Also lost time on #5 going round the bottom. Finished 2nd but well behind Brooner who smashed it. Don't have the speed to match that at the moment.

C • I suspect Brooner of 2

Event: 25th Sydney Summer Series #18 - Hunters Hill

7 PM

Orienteering race (Sydney Summer Series) 53:00 [5] *** 9.49 km (5:35 / km) +164m 5:08 / km
30c shoes: Asics Kayano 20

Shocker of a run. Felt tired and hot and struggled from the start. Then by the end started to lose a whole bunch of time including getting stung by a nest of something bashing through the bush down from #25 (30 secs), overrunning #22 (30 secs), missing the track turnoff towards #26 on the street (1.30 min), forgetting #15 then coming back to it at the end but was looking in the wrong spot (4 min). So altogether over 6 min of errors for 520 points. Think on a good day 600 was possible.

C • still beat me 6
