orienteering race 35:44 [4] *** 5.5 km (6:30 / km) +100m 5:57 / km
shoes: Inov8 X-Talon 212 (#2)
Xmas 5 days - day 5, Macquarie Woods.
Missed my start, so I didn't get to go head-to-head around the loops.
Pretty clean run, blew #11, v similar to yesterday's mistake, run hard up a hill, over a ridge, then attack too hard, missing and blundering off too low and to the right. Maybe I need to do some specialist training for this leg type :)
Shingo made an even bigger misscake, letting Rob Vibcent win again !
Looks like I had a bad route choice to #15 - 1:09 v Rob's 32"... oh no, #14 is the control that got moved part way through. That explains the diff.

orienteering race 35:10 [4] **** 5.0 km (7:02 / km) +110m 6:20 / km
shoes: Inov8 X-Talon 212 (#2)
Xmas 5 Days, day 4.
Fairly clean run, physically a bit slow to get going. Thought I'd had a clean run to 9 (uphill leg into mining), and anticipated the problems with that leg, but never came up with a strategy to attack the control and blundered past it into the mining detail.
Blew another chance to knock off Rob Vincent - he was running third at that stage behind Simeon Burill and me. Simeon blew 13 letting us both past.

orienteering race 41:29 [4] **** 6.0 km (6:55 / km) +100m 6:23 / km
shoes: Inov8 X-Talon 212 (#2)
Xmas 5 days, Kahlis Rocks.
Couple of mistakes in the easier sections, 90 degree error from 5 to 6, then misread map at 17. Tiny bit messy in the rock, one good leg.
Consciously not running too hard in the open, not quite 100% ATM

Event: Christmas 5 days
orienteering race 13:48 [4] 2.2 km (6:16 / km)
shoes: Inov8 X-Talon 212 (#2)
Xmas 5 days, day 1. Sprint at CSU Orange.
Lost significant time at 3 - hadn't read map well enough and had to go back on myself once, then was confused about crossing the garden near control. Lost time at 16, path route turned out to have possibly uncrossable wall.
