Running warm up/down 12:00 [1] 2.0 km (6:00 / km)
3 PM
Running race (Cross Country) 35:42 [5] 8.01 km (4:27 / km) vdot: 45.1
West Met XC series at North Ryde Common.
A real XC race with mud and rain, the only thing missing was the near freezing temperature. Tough 4 lap race around the common to the south side of Ryde Hosiptal. I even dusted down my spikes, don't think I've worn them since 1997/8 when I had a few races for Ilford AC. Schoolboy error with my laces and had to stop half way round the second lap to retie one of them and lost a couple of places which I never regained. It was a bonus that I could actually feel my hands to undo my laces at the end.

Easy run with Tony along Shrimptons Creek and back via Mac Centre. Nice to have some blue sky for once.

Orienteering race 1:07:51 [4] 7.53 km (9:01 / km)
QB3 Day 3 Banalasta.
A far better run here than at the Xmas 5 days in 2010. Took it steady, probably losing a bit more time than necessary, but no major issues. Minor wobbles at 10 where there was a lot more rock on the ground and at the last control where I was a bit careless.
All in all my best couple of days in complex granite, glad Ewan & I made the last minute decision to go. It was a shame we arrived too late on day 1 to run but the young lad's football came first (and he scored 2 goals).

QB3 Day 2 Mount Brown.
Steady run with no major (all relative) issues until 8, the bingo control (100). Probably lost at least 7 mins wandering around the circle like a headless chicken with countless others. Far more rock detail than mapped and not helped by the control being hidden away. It's a shame when a reasonable course is ruined by a pot luck control, if you came across someone coming out of the control you'd do well, otherwise you'd join the masses who lost minutes in the search!
