Event: Australian Championships 2012
 

Aus middle. Complete lack of fitness coming into these races meant that I was going to have to prioritise to try and get something ok out of the carnival. With this and the sprint as selection for the nz world cups I figured it was one to go for, particularly a it was a bit shorter and very technical.

Got a good start and was lucky to get some very hidden controls early on. Very clean until 14 where I vagues out and took 3 hours to find the ditch in the green. Lost about 3 mins here. Was ok then until the long leg where i died on the hills. Then made a stupid mistake cos I couldn't understand the map in the clearing. Pretty happy with second. Definitely better than expected.

Middle Course 2 - Splits

Early start. Off to tassie with the schools team.

Street O at rosalie. final for the winter series. all went much better than the previous attempt (made it to the start on time, no injuries!) but didn't feel awesome running. took it reasonably easy to give my legs a chance to recover before the weekend.
grilld at rosalie after.

Buhot creek event. good reminder of why I go here to mtb and not orienteer. there was a lot of track running, which avoided most of the fairly scrappy bush, but not a lot of orienteering in between. got bored and decided to quit a few times, but kept going cos I need to do some 'training' before aus champs.
