Minor event at Mt Sugarloaf. Nicola and I were pretty excited heading off from home this morning - our first orienteer since High Coast 2 days, Sweden. Knowing I'm lacking fitness and there are a couple of spots on the Sugarloaf map I've never navigated well, I was content to run the long course and just be out there for a decent time and get some navigation practice and km in the legs.
Loved it!!! So good to be back!!!
Disappointed to have to walk as much as I did - always on an incline haha. Overran #2; miscounted the gullies/watercourses heading to #7; veered too far left to #9, wasn't sure then if the rock I found was the black, or the grey to start with; so slow uphill from #11, #12. Should have stayed high after #15 rather than dropping to the track; very exhausted uphill to the finish.
Great course and love this map.
So that's 5 days of exercise in a row - my body isn't sure what's happened. Few sore spots but feeling better :)
Was nice to see everyone today :)

Hard Long - Splits

Just ran on the bush tracks in Ashtonfield. Terrific weather we're having here.

Early class. Really hot in the cycle room ... No aircon. Pretty sure it was close to 30 degrees here today!

Just down the bottom on the flat track. Hard work but the first decent session I've done. Wish I could get some fitness back quickly.; it's hard work when you're older I reckon.

Great class
