Orienteering race (Sydney Summer Series) 43:00 [5] ***
ahr:173 max:185 spiked:29/29c shoes: Brooks Trance 10

Last SS for the season, I wouldn't of normally run with my sore achilles but I needed to scrap together 12 decent scores for the overall win after missing so many throughout the season. Map was at Drummoyne and nearly all on streets, probably the worst area around. I got all but no.8, achilles was sore from about half hr onwards so never really threatened and Steve Ryan got the win he needed.

O at Brush Farm. DNF. Achilles sore from the start and only got 10 min into it before I jogged back to the finish. The last 6 months of injuries continues :(

Orienteering race (Sydney Metro League) 34:00 [5] *** 6.0 km (5:40 / km)
ahr:169 max:180 spiked:12/13c shoes: Brooks Trance 8

Very wet race at Harrington Park. Unfortunately, map was mostly streets and paths. No.5 was 100m in the wrong place but I got lucky and found it early. I lost time on the last when I couldn't find it in the circle, not sure if it was in the right place - otherwise good run.

3 PM

Rogaine race (MiniGaine) 2:56:00 [5] ***
ahr:147 max:170 spiked:67/73c shoes: Brooks Adrenaline 6

Rogaine with Mounty at Lane Cove NP with a large orienteering map. Great way to kill a 3hr run. Time went very quickly. Didn't have much of a turnaround after getting back from Metro League so planning could have been a little better maybe.

Another wet run collecting most controls in the western portion of the map and then skipping the whole north-east corner. Probably could have gone a bit harder as we were both taking it a bit too easy for first half. Achilles in both legs got really painful about half hr from finish so we had to slow down a bit through Macquarie Uni. Not sure what it was but the older shoes went straight in the bin after, hope the tendonitis is not coming back. Lucky still got a stash of untouched Brooks from last year. Finished with 4320 points.

Orienteering race (Sydney Summer Series) 46:41 [5] ***
ahr:168 max:183 spiked:24/29c shoes: Brooks Trance 8

O at Hunters Hill. For the first time we got our maps after we started for the score event plus the SI. I started out east just getting every control I could (1, 2, 16, 7, 24, 25, 6, 17, 29), I lost a few seconds on quite a few controls as I don't think they're exactly in the right place and some were very hidden. From the eastern controls crossed the bridge and collected all the southern controls (4, 23, 29, 28, 9, 14, 27, 5, 10) to the far west (8, 21, 13, 26) and back through the bush controls near the finish (18, 30, 15, 19, 11, 3, 12), just missing no.22. Happy with route choice in the end and was well clear of 2nd - 50 points. Shows the new format cancels out the good runners who can't necessarily orienteer.

Orienteering race (Sydney Summer Series) 48:00 [5] ***
ahr:173 max:183 spiked:29/29c shoes: Brooks Trance 8

O at Croydon Park. New map with a flat and fast course along the Cooks River and around the streets. Not the best map around. Course was a bit longer than expected and should have left out a few controls to get back on time. Ended up with 550 points, same as Steve Ryan.

Orienteering race (Sydney Sprint Series) 19:33 [5] *** 3.2 km (6:07 / km)
ahr:165 max:179 spiked:12/16c shoes: Brooks Trance 8

Last Sprint for the series at Callan Park. Felt pretty good but lost 30 secs on no.5 trying to cut through bush and then didn't hit no.7, 13 and 14 cleanly in all the detail. Got the win by 13 secs which made it the last 5 Sprints after a not so good start in the first 4. Can't say my O has improved too much but my fitness def has which is pleasing.

Orienteering race (Sydney Summer Series) 43:00 [5] ***
ahr:166 max:178 spiked:28/30c shoes: Brooks Trance 8

O at Clontarf. Started east along the Manly Scenic Walkway then up through the streets before coming back down to the beach to the far west controls. No real probs, got all in 43 min - a min behind Dave Hegarty but ahead of Richard Green and Glenn Horrocks.
