Orienteering race (MiniGaine) 2:54:40 [5] *** 29.58 km (5:54 / km) +200m 5:43 / km
spiked:46/50c shoes: Asics Kayano 19
Not the best preparation and run but somehow managed the undeserved win. Had been moving all weekend leading up to the run and only had one proper meal (Oporto) in the previous 36hrs till lunch just 2 hrs before starting. Didn’t have much time to plan but got an ok route which was supposedly 1.5km longer than optimum. On top of that, I felt worse than the 20 or so long runs I did over the Summer.
Started with a loop in Field of Mars bushland 32 and then 50 where a guy told me off for running too fast as I passed him. Then he proceeded to cheat and run through the out-of-bounds bush. Only in Rogaining! Continued through 62-12-82-73-34-24-43-92-40-41-51 then a short street run 64-30-22 and back into the bush trails 80-31-60-100-74-61-14-102. It was about 80 min and I was getting so dehydrated and feeling a bit sick. I then stopped at tap a house for a few minutes to have a drink. It felt like a real struggle from here on in collecting 33-81-44-103-43-20-93-71-90-23-72-101-94 and finished along the streets and Macquarie Hospital 91-54-42-83-52-13-104-84-63-10-70-11-21. Was just in cruise mode for last hour just making sure I had enough time to collect the lot as I already thought Mounty and others would be 20 minutes ahead. Turns out they had similar issues.
Good course which maximised the use of some great trails. Thanks Steve and Jeremy.

Orienteering race (Sydney Summer Series #26) 49:10 [5] *** 10.25 km (4:48 / km) +50m 4:41 / km
spiked:29/30c shoes: Asics Kayano 19
Last race of the season. Steve and I were going down to the wire. He needed to win the last race to force a countback which his 99 would have beaten my 4 x 98's. Apparently, if he was 1 second slower when he achieved his 99 I'd have it wrapped up.
Anyway, pushed pretty hard tonight on a great 'sprint like' course through some bushland and the Uni. Didn't make any errors except maybe a straighter line to no.3 saving 10 secs. Also by the end it was very dark which forced me to slow down a little.
Got all controls in 49.10 to Steve's 49.40 so we tied for the night but I was lucky enough to win a very close series 14-13. Our close battle made it more enjoyable and worthwhile coming back each week.
