Orienteering 16:12 [3] 3.1 km (5:14 / km)
Vic Sprint Champs, Camp Hill.
Looking forward to this, and it was pretty nice :) Had the local knowledge of knowing where the entry to the fernery is, but it's been a long time since I was at Bendigo Senior (and the music coming from the gaol is now from professionals rather than the prisoners' band).
Didn't get too badly caught out on 10 - ended up in sneaky passage under C block I'd forgotten about. Did try to get out the troublesome gate to 11 though, then exited 11 on the wrong path.
Next year: sprint on the Golden Square SC site? You could mow a labyrinth into the shrubbery.

Orienteering 23:14 [3] 2.8 km (8:18 / km)
Sprint into Spring, South Star Sailors Gully
I was expecting big things from myself in this race (mining bush sprint, my favourite) and failed to deliver!
Getting caught on the wrong side of the green to 11 was the main 'mistake', though lots of other little losses and hesitations. Also, I'm just not quick enough (legs or mind). I did enjoy the grass though.

Orienteering 18:43 [4] 3.4 km (5:30 / km) +28m 5:17 / km
Sprint into Spring, BSE.
Managed to avoid mad cow, although the course was much trickier than I'd anticipated (also more steps).
Still finding it really tricky to read the map quickly enough. Missed the odd optimum route (diagonally across the courts to 9, maybe out and around between the courts to 22) and had a few hesitations. Must have been a big field as I was a long way down!

Running 1:00:00 [3]
Jog with Jayne on the Yarra paths. Along my favourite track on the other side of the Pipe Bridge to Studley Park Boathouse, then keeping down the Yarra/up the Merri. Nice evening for it.
