Real Orienteering race (Sappa Bulga) 44:30 [5] ***
spiked:10/12c shoes: Columbia
Australian Relay Champs. Ran with the Chemical symbol for lead on my back. As it turned out, I wasn't the slowest in the team. Much easier navigation, but complacency and running hard meant I made a couple of errors. Maybe lost 90 seconds. That was about the difference between 4th and 5th place. maybe the Pb symbol was appropriate. It was tough running with two large climbs midway through the course. I couldn't see that the alternative route choices would be faster, so gritted my teeth and grunted up. I seem to do comparatively well when courses require strength rather than just speed.

Real Orienteering race (Sappa Bulga) 58:55 [5] ****
spiked:12/13c shoes: Columbia
Sappa Bulga. Australian Championships. Despite the extremely rocky terrain, the navigation didn't seem all that difficult. Spur gully navigation with rock feature back up till you got in the circle. Ran under the hour, and made a single 10 second error. I just stopped 20 metres early on the wrong piece of bare rock. Hardly an error really. Still only came in 8th amongst the Australians. That matches my best previous results at national events. I know that only fitness and luck will get me further.

Real Orienteering long (Sappa Bulga) 42:00 [5] **** +185m
spiked:17/21c shoes: Columbia
Western Plains Middle. 4.5k straight line
More great terrain. Quite messy. Messed 4 or the first 6. But then started to settle into the map and the terrain. Surprised by the reasonable result.

Real Orienteering race (Sappa Bulga) 1:12:39 [4]
shoes: Columbia
Western Plains Challenge 1
Introduction to the Sappa Bulga map. Great area. Excellent course setting. Great long leg that hid the best route choice option from me till after I had finished. Hid it from most others as well. I could have avoided 8 or 9 contours.
