Orienteering race (Australian Relays) 49:00 [5] 8.25 km (5:56 / km) +230m 5:13 / km
ahr:168 max:179 shoes: Innov8 OROC

At Borhoney Ghurk. Started good but got pretty messy through next 5 or so controls. Went good through the gold mining section but then stupidly ran from 16 to 7 thinking it was a pivot control but in reality the line from 16 to 17 just went through 7 and so I missed out on a relatively simple track leg (16-17) and instead ran 2 tricky legs through green. then massively missed 17 (which I'm convinced was either in the wrong spot or the map was wrong - nearly everyone had trouble here). struggled physically from then on, but i think everyone did - and i had no excuses, everyone else had run an epic the day before. Eon brought us home to take 2nd (3 if you include the unofficial team) behind the kiwis - so happy to be the best Aussie team and secure the NOL title.

finished feeling pretty disappointed with my race (technically, i can reasonably happily blame the physical side on being injured all year :P), i hate making mistakes, especially dumb ones. but also with the course - it was mostly spur gully with disappointingly few controls in the gold mining, and there was almost no splitting.

PTE 4.6
