Orienteering race (NSW Long champs) 1:04:13 [5] ** 6.1 km (10:32 / km) +140m 9:27 / km
Hi Kids, I have been out of AP for a while, mostly due to a strong bout of CBF that came out of nowhere and stayed around for a long time. Inevitable as the 2nd law of thermodynamics, I come back to contribute to the interwebz with my rambling, ever pushing towards disorder.
This was a good race for me. I have finally defeated my coach and nemesis Phoebe in a race that actually counts, the NSW long distance championships. I maintained concentration thanks to the cosmic power of quartz crystals, homeopathic energy drinks and a double shot flat white. Despite all that, I stuffed up the first control and the second last.
Much has been said about the technical difficulty of this particular event. Some of you in the audience may even interject to undermine my effort. To you I say, you are probably right, but I still worked very hard just to get through it. So to me, it counts.
