Orienteering race (Aust Relays) 41:48 [5] **** 5.59 km (7:28 / km) +171m 6:29 / km
spiked:13/14c shoes: Inov8 Trailroc 255
As good a run as I have had in quite a while. Relay 3rd leg after Rob V and Mel Cox in M55. Started about 3 minutes behind Warren Key, 3rd leg for Vic team, and only lost another 2 minutes thanks to a very clean run. Decided early to stay out of the green and scrappy areas so went wide right on 1, then out to the fence on 3 and 4. Only miss of any consequence (maybe 30 secs) was on 4 as I overshot coming up through the yellow. We finished 2nd by 5 minutes behind a strong Vic team.

Orienteering (Aust Long Champs) 57:53 [5] **** 7.08 km (8:11 / km) +165m 7:20 / km
spiked:11/16c shoes: Inov8 Trailroc 255
Worse run of the week (so far!) with dumb errors on 1, 3, 4 and 8. 8th place well below hoped for 4th or 5th. Overshot the very short 1, ran thru green on 3, made a 90 deg error halfway to 4 and was too high on 8. Also, almost stepped on a snake coming out of 11 which forced a hasty change of direction!
Nice area and OK course but limited route choice - maybe too many controls for a Long Champs? Could have left out #1 or #2, and #13 and #14 to make a nice route choice leg to #15

Running 43:16 [3] 8.38 km (5:10 / km) +4m 5:09 / km
shoes: Nike Pegasus 28
Morning run along the beach track at Jurien Bay. Very nice scenery with views over the beach and ocean. Tried running on the sand but it was high tide (in fact water would have been over the path at one point if the locals hadn't built a sand barrier) and there was no firm sand.
