Orienteering race (long distance trial) 1:14:52 [5] 8.9 km (8:25 / km) +360m 7:00 / km
Finally had a good run! Bingo control for 1, and lost some time (maybe 2mins) there, but lucky not to be heaps more from what I've heard! the rest was good, and I caught Shannon at 3, then missed a bit on 7 cos I didn't go far enough up the gully and went around to the next rocks and looked around to see Shannon and Jo go past. Quick trip back to the control, then flat out down the hill to get back on the train. Jo was absolutely flying through the next couple of controls, but then she stopped at the drinks control, and got caught up at the creek, and we swapped turns at the front heaps for the last section.
Felt pretty good at the end, and could have easily done a few more ks. I don't think I pushed hard enough in the first part of the course - I should have looked ahead at the full course earlier and seen that the second half was all down hill, but I guess I'd been expecting something nasty at the end. good to finally have a good run!
