orienteering race 38:54 [3] 5.55 km (7:00 / km) +118m 6:20 / km
shoes: Inov8 X-Talon 212 (#6 Fluro)
Aus 3 days, Connorton, middle distance, complex granite with some less granity bits.
2nd, about a minute behind Tony Woolford
Late decision to come, head not really in this at #1 and was just lazy reading map and consequently lost 2minutes+.
#2 was the long leg, I went left - think this may be the better route, but I lost confidence near the end, never seeing catching track. Happily my rough O was spot on and I hit the lead in spur. V happy to see the row of 4 enormous boulders.
Fairly clean round the loop 3-7, catching Freemo. Then too low for 8 (thanks fence), almost hit 11 before 10, god run with Freemo on longish leg to 12 where we caught turbo. Too many legs and not enough brains, we missed 14 & 17 a little.
I love this kind of country. Knee was OK, longer race tomorrow will be the test.
