Orienteering 12:33 [4]
Aus sprint champs.
Very tight race with Laura, never more than 10s apart. Going to have to lift my game! ;)
Very rusty the whole way around. a couple of decidedly not optimal routes (not helped by larger than marked construction), a small buggy that kept stopping right in front of me, and just slow reactions in general.
Once again lucky that Laura missed the last control as much (and a little more) than me, or she'd have had the win!

Orienteering race 34:00 [3]
Aus Middle Champs.
Great fun, technically not too difficult. A couple of slips in areas where I couldn't read the map on the run for fear of breaking my ankle on all the little rocks on the ground. Should have stopped (duh).
And the 3rd to last control, where I visited all the wrong rock clusters in the high undergrowth, before finally finding mine on the last one.
Laura only 30s behind... Very lucky she messed up the same controls as me!

Event: Karrak Karnival
10 AM
Orienteering race 57:00 [3]
Not sure what was going on with times, but my watch has me a minute faster than the official results.
WA long distance. Typical Gully Spur stuff, but with spikey WA bushes. Reasonably clean run, a couple of hesitations when I wasn't sure of my bearing on vague parts. And a couple of times where I could have done with being a few cm taller to see over the undergrowth.
My GPS also has me as running 8.02km, when the course was 8.5km. So I'm obviously cheating somewhere.

Orienteering warm up/down 15:00 [3]
No warmdown in the driving rain and wind. Took 2hrs+ for my hands to regain feeling and colour.

Running 47:52 [3] 8.9 km (5:23 / km)
over to the botanics and a short hill sprint session. Sprints were ~5m shorter than last week too, as I didn't have the heart to disturb the huddle of roos and their joeys near my start tree.
have also found where all the bunnies on campus go to hide from the poison traps. And boy have they been busy. Must almost be ready for their big push to retake over campus.

Hit the wall after too many late nights. Worked til 7, stopped off at M&M's for dinner, (but actually now just M's I guess after M2 finished, got a job and left us :(, went home and straight to bed.

biking (commute) 35:00 [2]
So many people obliviously wandering along/across/phantom slaloming along the bike path with headphones in. Not to mention the entire class that decided to cross the road right in front of me. Or the 100s of students blocking all bike paths on campus...How dare they go to uni and use public access ways! ;)
But no, the first two atleast were rage inducing.

I joined strava. This is very dangerous as I'm highly competitive, even if it's against myself.
