22c shoes: Salomons June 2014
Point Wolstoncroft Sport and Recreation Centre.
Nominal 4.5 km. Scale 1:5000. Long A.
22 controls.
Tracks very overgrown.
Bush bashed from 9 to 10 so lost 5 minutes fighting through lantana and came out way too early on the lake shoreline. The only saving grace was there was someone elses footprints along the shoreline as well!
First timed bush or park event I have competed in since destroying ankle.
Pretty tired at the end and not looking forward physically to the 2nd leg.

Orienteering - Park (O'Shea - Pt Wolstoncroft) 16:19 [3] 2.3 km (7:06 / km)
19c shoes: Salomons June 2014
Point Wolstoncroft Sport and Recreation Centre.
Nominal 2.2 km. Scale 1:2500. Long B
19 Controls.
Grabbed map, punched start and ran off towards control #1. Then realised that I hadn't taken a copy of control descriptions / numbers and it wasn't on the map either so ran back to the start and grabbed it.
So guaranteed to have the worst split of the day for that leg! Embarrassing screwup but at least by not having a running partner I didn't have to explain myself to someone else.
Very tired! Skipping the night event. Just as well because with tomorrows score event and no team mate I will "have" to get them all and will be twice the time of everyone else!
