Real Orienteering race (Wildflower Drive) 1:03:03 [3] *** 7.3 km (8:38 / km)
spiked:15/15c shoes: Innov-8
Wildflower Drive. 7.3 straight line.
I had been planning to go to the Melbourne Sprint today. Not because I thought the race down there would be superior, but I could combine it with a relative visit or three. I ended up with the unreliable car for the weekend. As a result it was Wildflower Drive. What I hadn't realised was that this was a first run a new map - the eastern block of Wildflower Drive. The new map is a great improvement on the old. Areas that were once a form of orienteering bingo are now well mapped. I think from an orienteering perspective I was forced into the far better option. And I both managed to get through a course 1 for the first time in a few months, and I spiked all the controls (again) and I had a good time.
Combined with -
The realisation that the eastern block of WFD is a candidate for a sprint event now.
A respectable sleep in

Makes this a very good day.
