Orienteering race (Ballarat University) 25:55 [5] *** 4.7 km (5:31 / km)
shoes: Nike Air Span+
YYAAAAAAAAYYYYYY!!!! a good run :) I knew it'd happen one day. Finally got a chance to strech the legs out. I navigated well through the buildings apart from a 40 second error. Made up time on the long leg and planned ahead. took ages to find the start triangle which didn't help. Came 3rd which was pleasing

Orienteering race (St Georges Lake) 46:00 [4] **** 5.0 km (9:12 / km)
shoes: Nike Air Span+
Did ok today. Still waisted lots of time on 2 controls but otherwise did well. Slowed down in the difficult terrain. Didn't waist much time in the gold mining which was good. Sprint tomorrow :)

Orienteering race (Creswick Diggings) 53:14 [4] ***** 5.2 km (10:14 / km) +190m 8:39 / km
shoes: Nike Air Span+
A really frustrating run where nothing seemed to go right. The complex gold mining erosion is obviosly one of my weaknesses. I took 10 minutes on a short control right at the start of the course. Running is going well...
MTBO race (Creswick Forest) 1:15:00 [5] *** 19.75 km (3:48 / km)
I road out to creswick. A lot further on bike than car... anywho. I was buggered by the time I got there but I still did the course. Actually did fairly well :) Ran overtime but oh well. Got 15 controls which I was happy with. Wrists feeling on the soar side today.

Orienteering race (Mount Tarrengower) 43:55 [4] **** 4.9 km (8:58 / km) +145m 7:48 / km
shoes: Nike Air Span+
Stuffed up the first control. Took about 5 minutes. The rest of the course was sloppy at best. Not happy :(
MTBO race (Telegraph Road) 1:15:00 [5] *** 16.89 km (4:26 / km)
ahr:142 max:170
My First MTBO event. A score course. Probably didn't pick the best routeand made a few mistakes but I was happy. It was fun. Unfortunately my bike has no front or rear suspension so my wrists got pounded. oh well
