Real Orienteering race (Choke'Em Gully) 59:15 [4] *** 7.64 km (7:45 / km) +285m 6:32 / km
spiked:12/13c weight:80kg shoes: Saucony Xodus 9.5

Straight line 6.4
Great terrain for true long distance course setting. All the controls were in the right spot. All the control descriptions were accurate. Enjoyed the run but would have liked fewer controls and those controls still on the course to be on the other side of the ridge so I didn't see them from 100 metres away. Am I just another ungrateful orienteer. Maybe I should shut up and start planning mu Kooyoora courses for September.

My 12/13 spike rate is not indicative of any skill improvement on my part.

Real Orienteering race (Diamond Hill) 1:03:44 [3] *** 9.05 km (7:03 / km) +165m 6:27 / km
spiked:11/16c shoes: Saucony Xodus 9.5

A no tracks map of Diamond Hill Nth was the venue for some enjoyable orienteering. I took it at moderate pace keeping two more days of orienteering in mind. The body didn't feel warmed up till well past the half-way point. Hint for Monday's sprint event... warm up. I suspect I won't though due to other things demanding attention. Only spiked 11 of the 16 controls, but the errors were all small and well inside the circle. Most of the non-spikes can be partially attributed to very general control descriptions. Once again, the need to lock controls means the practice of armchair course setting has more risk than in the past.

Running 55:00 [3] 8.4 km (6:33 / km) +40m 6:24 / km
shoes: Saucony Xodus 9.5

Attempt to run into Raak Plain from near the Calder Hwy. Failed to get there. Partner Jools lost enthusiasm as it looked O so boring. Got onto Google Maps later and realised we were just 2 k from the interesting terrain.

Morning run around Broken Hill. House price clearly closely related to altitude.
