Orienteering 1:34:00 [3] 6.0 km (15:40 / km)
Oceania Long Distance event at Transit Flat, west of St Helens. The day was quite a bit cooler than the previous days, so, despite starting after 11, I had a fairly comfortable run. The road/track route was an option on several legs and I took this successfully between 1 and should have used this option more, as I am slow through the bush. I think I went fairly well until 4-5, where I opted for the cross country route, which was definitely not runnable - finding myself climbing over huge grass mounds, that you could sit on and therefore losing time. 7 to 8 was a long cross country leg and although I selected a good route route - along the spur line - I probably lost a bit of time in the bracken on the side of the spur. My result was midfield, but I was pretty happy as my knee coped with the event well - the first sign that my life is starting to return to normal at last.
After the event, we drove to Hobart in order to fly out early the next morning.
Distance is a guess as the strap on my Garmin broke.
