Orienteering race (NOL Sprint Final) 13:07 [5] 2.9 km (4:31 / km)
At Canberra Girls Grammar, came 2nd, +10secs to Simon. Fun intense wiggly course on a 1:3000 map. Thought I coped ok, but couldn't help feeling a bit disappointed after a very scrappy start. The first three controls were so short, I didn't get a chance to plan #4. Ended up making two separate mistakes on that leg: one going down a dead-end, and the other getting very confused at how to interpret a thin fence with two dashes that was taped - presumably uncrossable, but came as a surprise. 15-20secs lost there. In a boo for the remainder of the run, but in hindsight my only other notable mistakes were missing the SI unit a few times at #12 (+5secs) and going too far around to #15 (+5 secs). Finished quite strongly when I got Ian in my sights.
