Orienteering race 16:55 [5] 2.3 km (7:21 / km)
shoes: Nike Free 5.0 (grey/green)
Cyclone race series at the Mt Coot-tha botanic gardens. I wasn't expecting too much, just hoping for a clean run and a time near the top and so wasn't unhappy to finish 33 seconds behind Kieran. Started off pretty well with reasonable flow but I think I missed the optimal routes on 3 (I went right -10s) and 6 (right -10s) and I had a moments' hesitation on 8 and 13 but picked the best route on long 14 (back through the clearing and across the long bridge) and was pretty clean thereafter apart from a hesitation on 19. I think I was running at a good pace for my current fitness but could possibly have pushed it up a notch in the last 1/3. A good run by Rachel who pipped me by a second. Covered about 3.5km on the ground.
