Running 2:55:00 [3] 33.2 km (5:16 / km)
Minigaine at Cronulla.
Quick off the mark with Brooner setting the pace. I hung off a bit, with Andy hanging a bit further still (sensibly). First section was a fast loop around the Cronulla headland footpath. Don't think Ive ever orienteered thru so many people.
Second section was up to the famous Wanda sandhills. Getting there on the sandy trail was probably harder than the hill itself. Some different route choices, and I think I came out ahead of the lads.
A flat road linking section to the bottom of the map, and a hillier loop to finish. Was pretty happy with how I had been moving, but started to tire at about 27km. With half an hour ago I decided to skip one checkpoint and grab a coke from the shop instead (it would have been tight anyway), and plodded back in 'get home' mode. NIce to feel a little fitness returning.
Great use of the area by course setter Steve.
