spiked:16/17c shoes: ASICS 21 Green

A lightning trip to Canberra for a family celebration in Watson. And the orienteering started 500 metres from the door! This was a course in two halves, Part was begnign semi paddock terrain, and part was tough slopes on Mt Majura. Leg 8 was intimidating. Chose to contour for the practice. Unsure if it was the fastest, but kept right on the line and spiked the control. Le13 was intimidating for different reasons. Straight down the Mountain. You didn't want to overshoot.

Naturally, I missed the Bendigo event, but I test ran an early course last Sunday. Two very contrasting terrains in terms of steep and flat.

Real Orienteering (Diamond Hill) 1:26:14 [2] **** 8.41 km (10:15 / km) +180m 9:16 / km
spiked:14/16c shoes: ASICS 21 Green

Evening training run by myself. Jim set the course and the training was last night, but I was busy. North Diamond Hill is rough terrain underfoot, so I took it very carefully so as not to twist ankles or aggravate PF. It was navigating by headtorch by the third control. At the end I turned the car headlights on and they seemed so weak compared to the bright LED I was running by. No major nav blunders, just a couple of in circle errors, one cause by not seeing the tape.
