Orienteering race (Oceania Middle) 41:55 [4] **** 3.4 km (12:19 / km) +86m 10:56 / km
spiked:12/14c shoes: Merrell Fuse Trail
A frustrating run due mainly to lack of traction in the wet and slippery terrain. My choice of shoes, which were great in the sand at Woodhill, didn't give me any grip at all. Navigated well with just a few small errors and hesitations but well off the pace. A great area and really enjoyed the course.

Better run day today although still a few silly errors. Terrain more friendly too with more open runnable areas. 7th place in M55-64 with Mel Cox and James Lithgow.

Orienteering race (Oceania Long Distance) 1:24:16 [5] ***** 6.76 km (12:27 / km) +183m 10:58 / km
spiked:10/15c shoes: Merrell Fuse Trail
A good first half was undone by a very poor second! A few small misses 1 through to 8 then unhinged at 9 (about 12 minutes), 14 (5 minutes) and somewhat weirdly 15, where I couldn't make my weary brain understand it was the last control just 70 metres from the finish. Ran almost 6.8km on a 4.6km course, with most of the extra coming at 9 as evidenced by the Garmin log. Log also shows I almost got there at the first attempt but didn't go far enough!

Running 39:32 [3] 4.4 km (8:59 / km) +142m 7:44 / km

Morning run with Deb from Beachside Camping ground to English Bay and return. Nice trail including a section across a mangrove boardwalk, although a bit slippery after the overnight rain. Did the side loop up to the lookout.
