orienteering race (Berowra Heights) 46:00 [3]
shoes: Asics Kayano 23
3rd in a series of three free events (thank you Mr ASC) @Berowra this weekend, and I was curious, although since we'd crossed on the Berowra Waters ferry last NYE I knew it could be a bit steep around there. Doesn't look so bad on a 1:7500 map though, and I almost wondered if the 30 controls could be clean-uppable within the 45 min limit, but decided: not by me. In the end I got all bar 3 for 560 points (poor route choice meant that I passed one of them twice) but was a minute late although the control on the edge of the oval sort of negated the 10 points I thereby lost. Still wondering what would have been the best way for me to go or which controls to leave out, so that means it was a well-set course.
Afterwards G very kindly complied with my request that we drive out to Palm Beach, where neither of us had previously been and back from which I certainly wouldn't want to be driving on a public holiday. We actually managed to find a park there, so walked up to the lighthouse on Barrenjoey headland along with dozens of other people. Fabulous water views in all directions :)
