Event: Eureka Challenge, SILVA NOLs
 

at "Ballarat" University (not really in Ballarat). pretty easy course, felt like just running. i guess there was a few small route choices but nothing too dramatic. i ran pretty clean, i'm just not quick enough for a race like that. good fun anyway. finished a good 35 seconds behind craney in 5th, and even more behind the impressive occy mcnulty...

At Surface Hill. It's been a while since i have trained twice in a day, and racing twice a day happens even less, so i thought i'd struggle with this one but i actually felt pretty decent. ran steady for most of it, never felt like i was setting the map on fire but didn't lose any significant chunks of time, and actually got into the lead for the 2nd half of the course until just a couple of controls to go... i was 28 seconds in front of simon (but only 8 ahead of craney) at 17 then made a stupid mistake to 18 - had my direction a bit wrong and ran towards the big black cliff to the left of the control thinking it was the brown one behind the control - should have just looked for the big rock right next to the control! dammit. lost about 20 secs there, and then was real hesitant to the next one, stole the lead back at the 2nd last and then ran the wrong way to the last - disaster finish! luckily managed to hang onto 2nd, just 5 seconds behind simon (i lost 4 of them on the run in!) and 6 ahead of craney.

great new area for orienteering! personally i'd have liked to be running on 1:7500 like the non NOL classes did.
