Orienteering race 1:26:43 [4] 10.5 km (8:16 / km)
Long race (hagaby) at collins creek.
my motivation and expectations for this race were awesomely low at the start of this race, and I just figured I would cruise around and try to avoid to many stupid mistakes in the lantana. I mostly succeeded, but long splits on the first two loops meant that I was well down on the pack for the first part of the course... then I came in off the third loop to find I was in second, but only just ahead of Jasmine and Aislinn. stuffed the first control on the last loop, and could see Aislinn getting closer (helped a bit by Kas on the M20 course). tried to stay ahead, but my legs were completely dead, and a little wobble on the final control meant that Aislinn ran straight past. oh well.
still the best NOL result of the year (although a severely depleted field), and the cyclones girls won again!
