Orienteering race 46:03 [5] 9.5 km (4:51 / km)
shoes: Nike Flyknit Lunar2
Made the trip down to Mosman for the Sydney Summer Series event. Bit of a different format to what I'm used to, with a highly detailed map, SI and the ability to fully plan your course before your start. Started out ok, trying to get used to the detail of the foreshore paths. A lot more physical with lots of stairs and changes in direction. Lost some time at 23, not seeing the blown up map portion and trying to interpret what was on the normal map. Overran the next control (14) badly, not realising it was off the track a bit. Then stuffed around at 13 because I misread my map and thought I was at 16. Ended up over running 16 anyway!! Improved a lot when I got into the streets more, but again lost time at 29, mostly because my map had disintegrated a bit and I didn't realise it was up a level. Got all the controls but was 1:03 over so ended up on 580. A bit frustrating to be the 3 seconds over but really I should have been comfortably under 45mins without all the mistakes!! Reckon I lost a good 3 mins all up. Just couldn't handle actually having to navigate :P
