Run race ((orienteering)) 1:01:37 [4] *** 5.5 km (11:12 / km) +350m 8:30 / km
spiked:25/26c
It probably says everything that needs to be said for today that just about the best thing that happened for me today was an unconvincing 7-point win for Essendon at home to Freo. (I guess I did manage to score some National League points, but only because there were enough non-finishers and non-starters - I didn't actually beat anyone).
The bottom line with this course was that I wasn't fit enough or strong enough to be competitive on a steep physical area. Didn't really do much wrong technically, just couldn't run at anything like the pace that everyone else was, and couldn't run any of the bigger hills. Struggled a bit with the steep bits of contouring too, I think through lack of practice in that type of terrain. 10 was almost scary in its steepness.
Thought I might have been at risk of having to find another way home for my carload too, but the warning light which came on for no obvious reason coming out of Boorowa has disappeared again (and the car itself does seem to be running normally).
