Orienteering race 1:46:30 [5] 15.5 km (6:52 / km) +400m 6:05 / km
At Woodhill, came 5th (2nd Aussie), +14:41mins to Gene. Not a very good day at the office, but a super-cool extra tough long distance. I liked the New Zealanders' take on sand-dunes: very hilly and overgrown. Got off to a bad start losing 4mins on #2. Relocated several times only to confirm I was in roughly the right spot. No explanation for that. Leon caught me and we were quite fast but scrappy for ~25mins to #10. He missed and I got away and had a decent enough ~30mins to #19. At that point the course/terrain changed and got very tough. Through tiredness I made mistakes on #20, #22, #26 and #28 and got fairly grumpy. Then just a case of crawling in to the finish. Turns out most people had long days out there, so the position was much better than I deserved.
Running warm up/down 15:00 [2] 2.5 km (6:00 / km)

Event: Oceania Championships 2017
2 PM
Orienteering race (Oceania Sprint Champs) 16:48 [5] 3.6 km (4:40 / km)
At Unitec, Auckland. Came 8th (3rd Aussie), +1:09mins to Ross. Fun course on a very well drawn map with lots of variety. Pretty happy with my run - just a few minor hesitations. Felt like I was planning ahead fairly nicely. The last few controls were in a very tricky bit of temporary buildings, which was fun. Didn't feel great running and was a bit disappointed to be as far off the pace as I was. Still, certainly not a bad run/result and a good warm up for the proper races.

Running 39:00 [3] 8.4 km (4:39 / km) +160m 4:14 / km
Lunch run up Davo. Pretty manic final few days before a couple of weeks of leave, but fortunately managed to squeeze in this run. Felt quite good.

Running 18:00 [5] 5.5 km (3:16 / km)
12x90secs around the East Basin. Tried to do some shorter reps to inject some speed into my legs. It didn't really work and I felt very heavy and slow, but it was good to do a hard session.
Running warm up/down 21:00 [2] 3.9 km (5:23 / km)

Running 38:20 [4] 6.2 km (6:11 / km) +240m 5:11 / km
Re-ran the NOL course from a couple of weeks ago on Isaacs. Not much to be read into the overall time for lots of reasons, but it was good to do a tempo run in terrain and learn a bit about what the best lines were. Felt ok in the legs and quite enjoyed it. Was lucky to find a gap between the rain today.
Running 20:00 [3] 3.2 km (6:15 / km) +150m 5:04 / km
Round the tracks up the hill to the start as a warm-up, and a gentle warm down on the flat.
