Orienteering race 40:00 [3] 4.2 km (9:31 / km)
shoes: Asics Gel 1130
Summer series at Christies Creek. It was too hot to be orienteering!!! Shouldn't have gone, but i cant resist going. My car said it was 45C on the way there, which i believed when i got out the car. Did the medium course and started off running, but by about half way i decided it was time to walk. I could feel my shoes sticking to the footpath, then i had to go up a steep grassy enbankment, which i slid back down again. Straight after this i went straight past a control which i was within a metre of. All of these factors made me decide that i couldnt think properly in the heat, so i walked. I went behind some shops and found a tap, which i drank from for a while and put my head under to cool down, it was a great idea. The uphill finish was a nasty one.
