orienteering race (Morialta SS) 1:00:00 [3]
shoes: Asics 2000-4
After a busy social day, S & E were picked up by L at 6pm and so I figured I could manage to get across town to Morialta after all. Started a couple of min before Andrew K and promptly got confused about which street I'd gone down to the first control, so lost a bit of time looking on a street corner where the control wasn't. AK caught up to me along St Bernards Rd and was slowly pulling away through the controls along Fourth Creek; I hoped he still had an extra one to go to south of there but it became clear that we had planned exactly the same route and since I didn't want to slog straight along Stradbroke Rd, decided to get a couple of controls east of there on my way north and then do an outer rim on the way back, which meant less up & down, and might be more efficient; in fact I did see Andrew again towards Fourth Creek. He overshot the control on the 'junction' by rather more than I did, although I'm a bit annoyed that when I hit the creek I looked to my right and actually saw something orange but dismissed it as being just rubbish, not a control!
