orienteering race (WMOC long final) 1:33:30 [4] ***** 6.78 km (13:47 / km)
shoes: Innov8 bright
Long distance final race in sand dunes. Varied terrain, and I was pleased with most of my legs, but took 23mins in one leg and 25 mins in another. It didn't matter, I was in the non competitive classification.

Went for a jog along the Auckland foreshore, from Viaduct Harbour to a jetty about 6km around. Lovely day for a look at Auckland...

orienteering (2nd qualifying race) 54:00 [4] ***** 3.5 km (15:26 / km)
shoes: Innov8 bright
Totally mucked this race, and lost my opportunity for an official final run. Discovered after a few minutes and several visits to a control marked on my map but which had the wrong number on the clue description, that I had the wrong map in my hand. Didn't know I could return to the start and get a new map. Attempted to find my way around the W50 course , but it was really hard and the contours difficult to read. Gave up and walked back disappointed. Had my sook and got over it.

Made a 10 min error on one short leg, was messy on my navigation on several legs. Lovely forest though... 29th place.

orienteering race (WMOCsprint final) 17:56 [4] *** 2.51 km (7:09 / km)
shoes: Asic3000
Ran in the A final in the 55 age class today. This used the city campus for Auckland uni. Not as complex courses today as in the qualification race. Lost time on a couple of legs. Again, difficult to read the tiny representation of stairs with perfect scale mapping... my result today? 28th (just in the top half of the field - 5 mins behind the speedy women)
