Orienteering race 1:14:54 [4] 6.0 mi (12:29 / mi)
(injured)
Oceania Day 5, also Long Distance Champs, Ngatawhai.
M45L, 7.3km. Nice forest with vicious deep gorges full of native bush. Hot (high 20's, knocking on 30). Took ibuprofen again but achilles getting worse.
Route choice across the deep valleys was critical and I messed it up. Both got the wrong routes and executed them badly. Struggling with the heat later on as well. Finished 10th, 9 mins down on Rob Jessop.

Orienteering race 17:41 [4] 2.0 mi (8:50 / mi)
(injured)
Oceania Day 4. Sprint around part of World Cup area, Government House (aka Middle Earth).
Started on Victoria Peak and finished around complicated school buildings. Struggled to understand what paths were mapped in the wooded bits, but biggest mistake was navigating from 6 to 7 and then back (via a different route) to 6. This cost 1.5 mins but no way could I see A C-W's time of 14 mins. Finished a disappointing 7th on M45.

Day 3, Manga Pirau. M45L, 3.5km.
Complicated open dunes as used by World Cup 1.
Went very well for 10 controls then lost contact on no 11 and couldn't relocate. 6-7 mins lost. Still came 3rd, 5 mins down on Martin (who got a tow from Rob Jessop).
Took ibuprofen again and achilles was OK.

Better nav today with just a few small mistakes. 3rd, 2 min down on Eddie Wymer. Achilles OK for nearly an hour, but sore again at the end. Also have blisters on both heels due to the sand.

Oceania 2013, Day 1. Fusilier, M45L. 7.2km.
Fast intricate sand dunes. Made a 10 min error at no 5 where I couldn't force myself to cross a very obvious veg boundary. Bill won in 40.
Achilles OK for 30 mins, but pretty sore by the end.
