Orienteering race (National League) 2:10:24 [5] *** 13.8 km (9:27 / km) +480m 8:03 / km
ahr:161 max:183 spiked:18/23c shoes: VJ Interator 2010

Classic at Littlechild's Creek. As my achilles had been sore for the shorter races, I didn't think I was going to finish the course today but for some reason it was ok running although I did take it a little easy for the first half. Got caught by Muz and Ruebin at no.13 which was good coz they dragged me around the rest of the course with them. Finished in 12th, 35 minutes behind Julian.

Not a very good weekend at all, ankle and achilles will need to get better if I am going to improve on those performances. Only 3 weeks till Coastal Classic then I'll take a couple of months off.

Orienteering race (National League) 18:45 [5] *** 3.2 km (5:52 / km)
ahr:176 max:185 spiked:25/29c shoes: Brooks Trance 10

Sprint at University of Tasmania - Launceston. Achilles had pulled up sore all week after last weekend and didn't feel good for this one. Course was well set with loads of controls amounsgt the buildings. Lost time at no.6 (10 secs), 7 (30 secs), 10 (15 secs) and 17 (50 secs) so not a good run. Finished in 12th, 3.5 minutes behind Julian.

ahr:172 max:185 spiked:16/21c shoes: VJ Interator 2010

Middle Distance at Ben Bullen. Achilles was very sore prior to starting and to make the run worse orienteered very badly through the first 5 controls. Once we got out into the open it wasn't too bad. Finished in 16th, 14 minutes behind Julian.

Event: NSW State League #4

9 AM

Orienteering race (NSW State League) 1:34:00 [5] *** 12.0 km (7:50 / km) +380m 6:46 / km
ahr:163 max:181 spiked:16/18c shoes: VJ Interator 2010

O at Old Woman's Creek. Lost 5 minutes on no.3 and then caught back up to Alex at no.6 who passed me at no.3. We ran the next few to no.12 then after a discussion he went straight and I went round the track to no.13 losing another 5 minutes. Other than the 10 minute loss, orienteering was ok but very tentative on my bad ankles and found it hard to get any confidence at all. Don't think I'll be making a full-time return to orienteering anytime soon and will be sticking to the running.

Times: Steve/Prong/Bert-85, Greg Barbour-89, Alex-90.

O at Macquarie Woods. First State League that wasn't a National League in 10 years. Very tentative throughout and wasn't confident at all on my bad ankle. Got caught by Alex Massey from near the 2nd and ran the rest of the course together. Lost time on no.1 and 2 with route choice then a few minutes on no.11 being far too low. Times: FatRat-38, Steve-41, Alex-43, Prong-45.
