9 AM
Orienteering race (GOC Champs Long) 1:44:47 [4] *** 10.0 km (10:29 / km) +285m 9:10 / km
spiked:14/20c shoes: Salomon XT Wings
Much more runnable, plenty of route choice and a good mix of leg lengths. I had the long legs well planned after the 2km run to #1. #5 cost me close to 10mins due to not being able to relate the mapped vegetation to reality. Another 3mins lost on #9 but otherwise I hit most of the controls pretty spot on. My lack of fitness cost me though, reduced to walking the path up to #18 and stumbling into the finish with pretty low blood sugar levels. Great weekend of O!

Event: SA Sprint Champs
8 AM
Orienteering race (SA Sprint Champs) 20:50 [5] *** 3.2 km (6:31 / km) +70m 5:52 / km
spiked:19/22c shoes: Salomon XT Wings
The first ever SA Sprint Champs at PBHS. Home ground advantage for me so I went out hard, hoping to make it out. I really enjoyed the technical buildings and the variety of the course. Still made a 20s mistake on #3 and my running speed is just not quite up there. Placed 6th, 20s behind Brian and 1:58 behind Dylan who won the course.
3 PM
Orienteering race (GOC Champs Middle) 58:30 [4] *** 4.8 km (12:11 / km) +185m 10:13 / km
spiked:13/19c shoes: Salomon XT Wings
Absolutely hated the terrain. #1 cost me a fair bit of time with my route choice of stumbling along the fence. The nav was pretty easy on most controls but I still found myself making mistakes, probably due to lack of concentration and not being able to read the map while moving. Nearly considered giving up on colour-coded O after this one - luckily I got back on the horse for the long and thoroughly enjoyed that one :-)

Road Running 20:00 [3] 4.0 km (5:00 / km) +40m 4:46 / km
shoes: Salomon XT Wings
Multi-tasking run around Sunninghill, with stops on the way to drop of a form at my parents' place, buy 200m of bunting at Builder's Warehouse and buy supplies at PnP for the Sprint Champs tomorrow. So much better than sitting in the traffic with a car!
