Orienteering race 52:21 6.15 km (8:31 / km) +306m 6:49 / km
ahr:162 max:179 shoes: Salomon Speedcross 4
WA middle champs at Bells Rapids.
Hot day, tough terrain, not fit. Figured my only chance of getting near the top was to have a clean run while everyone else stuffed up so I took the safer track options whenever possible. Don't think they were always the best options but they were good enough. Still bumbled around a bit on a few controls and couldn't make any sense of the map on the last few but didn't lose enough on any to make any real difference. Didn't want to try to push past Jennifer on the narrow track into the finish so tried the other branch but it wasn't going close enough to the right direction so had to cut back across and just ended up further behind. Finish didn't seem to be anywhere near where it was marked on the map. Ended up second, 10 minutes behind Henry and 10 ahead of Andries.
