Event: South African Championships
 

SA Short couse. Made big mistake on the very first control. Had a reentrant and saw some mounds to right of the path. Went straight there before realising my mistake. Rest of run was OK but just a bit slow and did not feel great. Glynn caught me by 7 so tried to keep with him but as soon as we hit the hill up to 11 there was no chance. At the end Jean-Louis and Pat made even bigger mistakes so was second by about 20s! Shows that you should never give up.

Short 2 - Splits

Spent 1 hour walking through Cango Caves. I suppose in light of Nicholas's comment about me logging golf as training, I better not log this one!

C • Golf and Caves 1

Star Relay, Map Memory and the sprint courses.

Played with Brad and his Grandfather at Dimension Data. I am a better orienteer than golfer!

Event: Gauteng Colour Coded - Hedianga
 

Ran at the feared Hedianga venue. From the sublime to the ridiculous! Last year it was 35 Deg, but today it was about 10 with an icy wind. Went quite well but took it slow to make sure the mistakes were not too big. Came second but still 8 minutes behind Ian. At least I beat the young whippersnapper.

Course 2 - Splits

Salomon Trail run at Jan Smut's old house in Irene. Had too much wine the night before so did not feel great. Reasonable first lap but walked about half of the second lap.
