Orienteering race (ACT League - Pairs race) 36:00 [4] 7.5 km (4:48 / km)
Mass start race at Kowen Pines. Quite a loaded field with Shep, Larry, Olle and Lazydave to race head-to-head against. It was really fun: nice pines to run through and a good pack race with some gaffling, but we kept coming back together. To be fair, I was hanging on to the others from the start and never did any leading. Came back 3rd, behind strong running from Shep and Larry, after Olle had some trouble crossing a fence. I definitely had the long gaffle ;) Felt pretty slow and struggling to breathe well today - no surprise I guess! Have been getting some sleep but definitely still in the adapting phase. Florence is doing great though and didn't take long to get back above her birth weight.
