Running warm up/down 10:00 [3]
Orienteering race 1:40:11 [5] 11.7 km (8:34 / km)
Gah. Not happy about this race at all.
Got another nose bleed mid race on the way to never 2 which I then proceeded to make a 7+ min error at while trying to stop the flow of precious nutrients out my nose. Not helped by counting major gullys which didn't happen to be on the map, along with most of the vegetation.
Was pretty unhappy after that so wasn't pushing it as I normally would I guess.. Walked a few hills. Made more mistakes.
Really did not have a good time today. I don't understand why we had to run on such a shitty area (regardless of mapping quality) when there are plenty of top terrains even closer to the event centre?!
Not the quality I would expect from the most popular event in aus. Not a great confidence boost just before I head os

Running warm up/down 30:00 [3]
Orienteering race 32:28 [4] 4.7 km (6:54 / km)
No garmin.
Kinda sloppy racing, especially at the start.
Nearly crushed a sneaky kangaroo who thought he was the hide and seek world champion
Happy with a solid race with no big errors but would have really liked a clean one.

Orienteering race 16:04 [5] 2.8 km (5:44 / km) +60m 5:11 / km
Easter Bush Sprint Prologue
Had a killer start and had some fully sick flow through the first 13 controls.
Was pretty surprised to catch Olle at control 7 after the weird pond route choice.
Completed my Rambo look for the race after struggling through a barbed wire fence and making a mess of my pants.. Plus some bonus blood all over my shirt.
Really struggled with the pace for this second half of the course. Was pretty lucky to have Olle there to pull me along through the controls.
Took a bit of a different route choice into the third last and Olle got away from me a bit, leaving me to struggle down the finish by myself.
Will put up the gps after I get home!
