Day 4 Ophir Diggings.
Best course of the week. Some good route choices, nice area, and some wicked mining towards the end.
Navigation clicked pretty nicely, picked the slower route on 3 and was unsure at the end, relocating off my catching feature when I didn't see the control on my first pass. So lost 2mins there. Otherwise OK. Caught Jo as we entered the mining, unfortunately she just missed the first control in it - so I ended up leading her through rather than vice versa! :)

Hard 2 Day 4 - Splits

Day 3 Rocky Falls.

Terrible run. Mistakes on 3,4,5 and 6. And a silly route on 9 when I'd lost all motivation for the course really. Slightly reassured in my own abilities when we realised how warped the map was around #4 and 6, from the gps. But 3 and 5 were entirely me.
Fortunately (?) the entire women's field had rough days, so my time doesn't look too bad! Jo got me by about 30s, so I messed up our Kiwi white wash today unfortunately. Sorry!

Hard 2 Day 3 - Splits

Day 2 Kahli's rocks.
A course that just skimmed around the edges of the rock detail really. A bit disappointing given the area. Having said that though, I still made mistakes! Caught Cassie up a couple of mins by #3 and we to and fro-ed for a few controls, before I finally clicked and remembered just how to orienteer smoothly!

Hard 2 Day 2 - Splits

Event: Christmas 5 days
 

Sprint Xmas 5 days. Really felt the lack of speed work and proper fitness! Managed to hold off Laura, just.

Hard 2 day 1 - Splits

Headed back to Canberra with the good intention of stopping at the top of the Corn trail for a bit of a run on the way. Unfortunately the weather packed in at exactly the same time, so after driving out to the end of the trail, I decided heading out in thunder, lightning and hail, into the bush by myself, probably wouldnt have been the smartest idea.

So no run :( But now I know where to go I guess.

Christmas jog down the coast from Mystery Bay to 1080 beach and exploring on the way back. I could have gone for hours, rock hopping along the coast, but was persuaded to stop and head back for swimming and lazing on the beach instead.

Then saw a massive ray about 2m away from me while out swimming...so decided playing volleyball on the beach was the better option ;)

Knocked off a last couple of christmas peaks before heading out to the coast :)
