orienteering race (Kooyoora Spur) 1:01:51 [3] 6.1 km (10:08 / km)
shoes: Inov8 Oroc spikes
I was a bit sorry that I'd not be seeing Kooyoora in the spring, with the wattle, but Kooyoora in the fog is pretty special too. I really enjoyed this, not running particularly fast but feeling better in the terrain than I have for some time and managing to jump over stuff mostly okay. Also fairly clean through most controls although hesitated going downhill into the circle on 7 and 9, classic danger controls. And on both the cross-spur legs, to 8 and to 10, I got to the ridgeline and realised I was going about 45 degrees further right than I wanted to at that point. It was pretty difficult in the fog to have any real clue which way was up and which way was down, on the ridgeline, but I trusted my compass (once I actually looked at it) and things worked out okay. A great challenge; so glad I came, wish there was another event on Kooyoora tomorrow!
