Orienteering race (Woodhouse) 27:41 [4] *** 3.1 km (8:56 / km)

What do you say when you leave 7 mins out on course? 2 major errors that were inexcusable. At 9 i took the wrong track. At 12 I overshot by the best part of 300m. At 21 I ran around like a headless chook although vegetation boundary and hidden behind a seriously large tree kind of threw me!
Courses were good, although far steeper up Challenge Hill then I'd expected which just hammered my legs and slowed my race as I'd gone out hard early. I'd taken 2 mins out of Trev by control 4, and yet there we were at 9 and then again at 15 holding hands again.
Haven't seen splits but they'll probably make me cry.
Kicking the footy (SIC Training) 1:15:00 [3]

Had 18 at training. Boys trained well but as the intensity has picked up, so have the skills waned. Not unexpected but at least they are turning up and having a go.
Now to see what happens when the coach gets his hands on them and tries to coach the skill and confidence out of them.
