After a morning of presenting my poster to a decent number of interested parties, Helen and I were treated to door-to-forest service by Eddie. Thanks!
This was the first sold-out orienteering event I've been to, which made it pretty special. The orienteering itself was scrappy. I think I underestimated the climb and navigation and found myself banana-ing to many controls on the first have. When I focussed more on the back straight I found the controls more cleanly. Lovely forest, and lovely falls to check out afterwards.
Even though I registered late, started late and finished after course closing - none of the QOC organisers seemed to mind. Big thanks to them all!
