Orienteering (Control collection) 24:33 [2] 1.25 km (19:38 / km) +50m 16:22 / km
ahr:109 max:143 shoes: Mizuno Wave Diachi

Out at Connorton where Deb and I collected the last 18 stands, flags and SI units from last Wednesday's Schools Long and RR day 2. Also brought in the water containers and cups (cut it close at one stop with maybe 3 litres of water left!) but didn't Garmin that bit!

Orienteering race (Oceania Middle) 37:47 [5] **** 3.88 km (9:44 / km) +87m 8:45 / km
ahr:142 max:159 spiked:13/15c shoes: Mizuno Wave Diachi

New map (Racecourse Creek) at Beechworth was a lot more enjoyable than the slog yesterday! A good run with minor misses at 4 and 11. Not fit or fast enough to challenge the leaders so happy with 9th in a strong field. Definitely come back to this map!

Achilles seems to have survived the rigours of 5 races and 2 x 12 hour days of event set up and pull down in the last 9 days, so now to decide if I'll tackle the H&H 22 km trail next Saturday....

Orienteering race (Oceania Long) 1:16:34 [5] **** 6.53 km (11:44 / km) +274m 9:42 / km
ahr:141 max:178 spiked:11/15c shoes: Mizuno Wave Diachi

"Iconic" Kangaroo Crossing and a really physical challenge today in tough terrain and warm conditions. 3 minute errors in the green at 2 (low) and 3 (high) put me behind from the start then a poor route choice with too much climb - changed my mind mid-leg which wasn't clever - and steep descent on the long leg to 4. After that, a wobble at 6 but finished the course pretty well and happy with 10th place (22 minutes behind 1st but only 7 behind 2nd!)

Wasn't at all happy with water on course locations (tracks) as they tendered to dictate route choice, which I feel is wrong! My only water at a control was at 12 (of 15) 500m from the finish!

Despite the hype, I don't think I'll hurry back to this map.

Orienteering (Control collection, Aust ) 1:11:19 [1] 4.86 km (14:41 / km) +44m 14:03 / km
ahr:90 max:139 shoes: Mizuno Wave Diachi

Post Aust Schools Long at Connorton. Actually only spent about 40 minutes and 1 km doing this but, as the Garmin track shows, I forgot to stop my watch!! As Controller, it was an eventful day at times but it all worked out in the end. The major issue, apart from a couple of non-missing (aka didn't start!) runners, was the temperature as it hit 30C quite early in the day. This had an impact particularly on the some of our NZ visitors, with a couple of schools and JIT runners suffering heat-related issues - and it's going to be hotter tomorrow for the Relays. Oh and the Oceania IOF Event Adviser suffered a dislocated finger - not heat related! Feedback on Phil's courses and the terrain was all good:-)

Orienteering race (Australian Relays) 38:17 [5] *** 4.33 km (8:50 / km) +190m 7:15 / km
ahr:140 max:159 spiked:11/12c shoes: Mizuno Wave Diachi

Back at Split Rock for the Relays. 1st leg in an M55A team with Simon and Glenn. A very good run spoilt by indecision on 10 when I stopped short and went back, losing at least 2 minutes. Lost a little bit of time earlier when I decided my route choice from 6 to 7 just had to be across the iconic (well at least for Waggaroos!) Acre Rock from the old Gardiner's Lookout map. Got back in 5th position, a place my team mates maintained to the end, so very happy.

Orienteering race (Australian Long Champs) 1:01:18 [5] **** 6.52 km (9:24 / km) +218m 8:03 / km
ahr:143 max:162 spiked:14/14c shoes: Mizuno Wave Diachi

Aust Long at Winona - the eastern part of the iconic Gardiner's Lookout map now remapped and extended south as Split Rock. A super area with massive granite boulders and expanses of bare rock.

Easily the best run I've had in a couple of years, especially at this level, with a dead heat for 6th. No errors of any significance, just not fit enough to compete at the pointy end. Achilles held up well but will see how it goes 3 days straight in the Relays (again at Split Rock) tomorrow.

Course 11 - Splits

Event: Oceania 2019

12 PM

Orienteering race (Oceania Sprint) 17:07 [5] *** 2.79 km (6:08 / km) +54m 5:36 / km
ahr:142 max:151 spiked:17/19c shoes: Asics Gel Nimbus 20 Black

Oceania Sprint at CSU, M60A. Reasonable run but disappointed to make a couple of silly errors on 14 and 15 (the latter costing over a minute) especially as I know the map so well! 11th place was still a good result given lack of recent training.
