orienteering long 2:00:00 [3] 15.0 km (8:00 / km)
shoes: Inov8 Oroc spikes
Parents dropped me at Bri Glen Springs and I ran south through the flat eastern side of Merridee, tagging 4 controls, and met them at the hash house site at the southern end of Merridee. That only took about 40 min but it was a good thing I grabbed a drink and a snack before they drove back to the house on the hill, as I then tagged another 4 controls heading south into the hills through Twigham, then realised I had only 20 minutes left if I was to be back by midday in order for us to meet the landowner at Ulooloo at 1pm, and it was still 4km in a straight line east back to camp! It was downhill much of the way, and I picked up an old faint track towards the end, and made it in 28 minutes - but my knees really didn't appreciate this, particularly not in spikes. Was a bit buggered for the rest of the day, but that's my WOC trials long training done, then.
