orienteering race (Tothill) 1:12:06 [3] 5.4 km (13:21 / km) +200m 11:16 / km
shoes: Asics gel 2120
Tothill is a steep and scenic map - not the best place to go for a run when it has just been raining and all the mossy slopes and rocks are really slippery. After I stacked it by slipping on an innocuous but treacherous twig I became so cautious I was nearly crawling. Then I stopped to help a "lost" kid, then I stopped to help Jeffa whose back was playing up. So I took a while....the course & map weren't that difficult; Peter K had done his best to avoid climb, and found decent attack points, and the flowering blackboy/yacka bushes were pretty.
Note
It's been ages since we've had a weekend actually staying in Burra at Paxton Square Cottages. First we went to the pub for dinner (pretty decent pasta) then we went for a walk down the cemetery by starlight, then we found a couple of nearby caches - all good fun. Squeezed 6 people into a 1-bedroom cottage and squeezed Lauren on to a very short sofa. I'm sure it was on a junior training camp in about 1992 (?) that we fitted 16 people in two cottages. May have to break that record some time...
