Orienteering race (Sydney Summer Series) 44:37 [5] *** 9.62 km (4:38 / km) +160m 4:17 / km
ahr:164 max:184 spiked:29/30c shoes: Brooks Adrenaline ASR
O at Balmain which was mostly streets. I don't know why they didn't use the good bits in the area!
This was one of my worst attempts so far. I felt very tired from the start due to being in the middle of a big block of training. Tried to drag myself around the course running with Richard Green now and then. Rolled my bad ankle ripping through the tape again near no.30 so I had to slow down for the next 5 or so minutes and later lost over a minute at no.11 looking around a bare rock which was in the description but the control had been placed closer to the road. I actually gave up on the control and started to go to the next when I luckily saw it out of the corner of my eye. It's becoming a recurring theme with this year's Summer Series, wrong control placements! The last 2km were my fastest, only because I wanted to finish on time. Got all controls with 20+ seconds to spare, a minute behind Glenn Horrocks.

Event: Sydney Sprint Series #2

Orienteering race (Sydney Sprint Series) 15:51 [5] *** 2.7 km (5:52 / km) +90m 5:02 / km

Good fun course on Bicentennial Park. Legs were feeling really heavy and tired from the weekend. No real mistakes, a little hesitant going to the 1st and tried to go through the 'white' to no.7 which was more 'green'. Lost 30 secs to Macey on that one. AP says I only lost time on no.10 but I suspect that was because people ran through the uncrossable fence. Managed to hold off the the young guys but it's only gonna be a matter of time :)

O at Hunts Creek. Ran this one pretty hard. Started through 10, 4 down into the bush for half the bush controls then collecting all the northern controls before a huge out and back for 28 and collecting the remaining bush controls leaving out only no.5 and 40 secs over for 580, 30 points ahead of Steve Ryan/James McQuillan in 2nd.

Orienteering race (Sydney Sprint Series) 18:09 [5] *** 3.06 km (5:56 / km) +53m 5:28 / km
ahr:171 max:183 spiked:8/13c shoes: Asics Kayano 15
Sprint at Manly Dam. Very scrappy run and quite a lot of bush legs. Ran straight past the 1st, a little past the 2nd, wrong direction going to 4th, looking amoungst wrong boulders which were not mapped on the 6th and then took the wrong track which wasn't mapped and ended up halfway down the hill going to the 7th. Probably lost a couple minutes total. Still managed to get the win 30 seconds ahead of Peter Annetts who had a great run.
