orienteering (Flagstaff Hill) 1:06:00 [3] 5.4 km (12:13 / km)
shoes: Asics GT-2000
On my way out the door, wearing running shorts, I suddenly had the realisation that it wasn't going to be street-O but that the courses would go into the bushland near the flood control dam, and that much of this is prickly acacia - so I went back for full leg cover, which was a good idea, although some of the thick stuff turned out to be young wattles which aren't so prickly. Maybe a compass would have been a good idea too?
This event was promoted towards newcomers but I am hoping none of them did the longest course, because I'm not convinced that they would have enjoyed it. I did, in a masochistic sort of way - remembering some of the experiences which mum & Susanne & I first had when we started orienteering 30 years ago.
Came home and made orienteering-control biscuits to take to Nick's 18th :)
