Warm up for event. And it was up. Particularly the last 500m

Orienteering SS event at Chewton. This was a very physically challenging event for me. Some good route choice legs with short legs amongst the mining. Ran ok for most of it except for some walking up the very steep hills. Bit slow in the mining in some places. Was very careful in some of the mining. Preferred to stay out of it and run in late in the leg. Found it difficult to interpret in some spots. As a result made no errors as such but was a little slow in places.
Great event and good to get out on a course I did not have to set and hang tags for.

Distance is a guess.

Did the scatter O at Bendigo today. I was absolutely useless. Took 11 minutes to find the 1st control. Only a couple of hundred meters from the start. Could not make sense of the tracks and found an unmapped erosion gully. Had a couple of really bingo controls in vague areas in wide gullys. This could be a very good map but I think it needs some upgrading.

Did not finish and stopped after 22 controls. Out long enough.

More rock training with Judy. Picked up some tags left from Sunday and then ran up to the top to touch the tree. Ran back down on the path.

Ran in Glenn Iris with Conan down along the creek and back.. The indications of flash flooding to a very high level were everywhere.
