Orienteering race (Easter prologue) 16:17 [5] 2.9 km (5:37 / km)
At Trevallen in Launceston. What a disaster. After Jetstar stuffing around with our flights, so that we flew in on Friday morning instead of Wednesday night, our flight was then delayed by 1.15, so instead of having more than 2 hours between flying in and starting, I got to the event with 15mins to spare. Total stress! I got a bit of a warmup in (taped ankles on plane), but didn't calm down enough before the start. Al and Mace got a good start in our group, and by the time we got to the first split I was getting things under control. Did the first butterfly great (the powerline side), but then as I was running back across I was trying to figure out which of the loops I was doing first - cos they were overlapping and it looked tricky. Took off on the second butterfly, but never registered the second pivot control on the map - so did both loops from the central pivot control. Damn. Didn't realise until they told me I mp'd and which control I missed (3 times!).
Other than that, I was really happy with the race and got everything else perfectly, and my time would have put me in 4th, despite the extra distance. oh well.
Running warm up/down 30:00 [2]
short warmup, and longer warm down cos I was pissed off
