Orienteering race (Easter Day 3) 46:03 [4] *** 5.4 km (8:32 / km)
12c
Relay Distance - Rosenthal Creek.
Super awesome terrain! Potentially very fast in places but so easy to come unstuck if not completely on top of things. I had good concentration today and it paid off with a good result. I picked features off the whole way which slowed me down a tad but I didn't really want any blow-outs. Still, I did lose ~1min at c9... I had jumped from feature to feature most of the way there, but had run down the hill too quickly so came on to the edge of the control circle earlier than I expeced. I doubted myself too quickly and wasted 1min having a little think. If I had looked at 'the bigger picture' it should have been obvious where I was. Gotta stop throwing away time like that! 1st place, 30secs ahead of Tracey.
Really fun courses/terrains this weekend and pleased with the outcome, my first Easter win since juniors in 2003 :)
Running warm up/down 10:00 [2]
Just a warm-up. After the presentations we drove back to Brisbane and caught our flight to Canberra.
