orienteering 55:41 [3] *** 5.6 km (9:57 / km)
shoes: innov8
Orienteering in heavy rain, just near home - the forest is lovely in the rain; it's so rare to hear and see water running everywhere and get totally wet.

Went for a local run in Maiden Gully. First time I have worn shorts this season. It is beautiful in the bush - so many more flowers this year than in the previous 10 years.

Orienteering on the Sedgwick map, my favourite spur gully terrain around Bendigo. Typically I made a big stuffup; a classic 180degree error. This happened after I spoke with someone. It usually does. I must get into the the habit of refocussing when I see someone.

Neil and I rode into town to return a DVD. This was my first ride for months, and I felt very deconditioned.

orienteering 1:30:00 [1] *** 6.0 km (15:00 / km)
shoes: innov8
Putting out controls at Mosquito Creek for an orienteering event today. The courses proved a bit tough for a few people. The legs were long and the terrain was vague in places. The route gadget information will be very interesting.

This was the Victorian Long Distance Orienteering Championships today. A new map near Newstead, in very fast open forest. Enjoyed the running, and pushed myself to run as much as I could, but had an 8 min error on the shortest leg. Even with this error, I had a good time (for me).

orienteering 1:33:37 [3] ***** 4.6 km (20:21 / km)
shoes: innov8
Oh dear, what can I say? Great map, poor application by this person who started the day feeling pretty crap (it's good to have an excuse). Spent 17 mins finding control no.5 and 20 mins for control 8. Poor map reading...

orienteering 46:34 [4] **** 4.1 km (11:21 / km)

Relay event. I enjoyed this map and was amazed to be running over old, probably fossillised, oyster shells. The terrain was steep and rough, with many steep gullies. Made a couple of errors, and lost probably 8 - 10 mins of time, but for me this is not bad. Had a great team - thanks Margi and Prue!

orienteering 2:30:00 [3] **** 7.5 km (20:00 / km)
shoes: innov8
This event for me was another championship disaster. I was entered in the W35A class and set out on the 7.5 km course. Ran the first half of it with out much difficulty, with a number of paddock legs, finding controls in the rocky features. I totally lost contact with the map on a rocky slope, where I was missreading parallel rocky slope features. I spent over 40 mins trying to understand the map and read the features and couldn't work out why it made no sense. It wasn't until I'd given up and was walking back to the assembly area that I realised I was on the wrong slope. I put this down to being tired and having a cold. This didn't help my thinking at all. I get very disappointed that something like this happens at most national championship events. I would love to have a clean run at a long national championship event....

orienteering 18:50 [3] *** 2.6 km (7:15 / km)
shoes: innov8
Australian sprint championships. This was held in another school campus, and I'm not good at sprinting all the way around these courses. I tend to jog around, keeping track of the map and clue numbers, and then put in a sprint at the end, in the finish chute, which is not the way it should be done. I felt a bit of a fraud collecting the 3rd place in the W35 class after this effort.
