orienteering race (SS Hawthorndene) 45:41 [3]
shoes: Saucony Jazz
Hawthorndene has more hills than Hackney. But that didn't really bother me - more concerning was my baseline lack of speed, although it improved marginally as I eventually warmed up. Headed south towards the pine forest first, and left out the 5 northernmost controls, the tradeoff being a steep climb complete with redundancy to get to the rail crossing by the Belair Hotel. Stopped to talk to Troy & Andrea so that's not included in the time.
