Middle distance at Pittwater Dunes. Stuck to the plan and walked (some jogging) to the 1st. Got it ok so just ran easy and mostly did good through to the one before the spectator (18) where I lost 30secs or so. Then missed the next 3 after the spectator control, not sure what was going on - maybe just got tired? I have run any orienteering, or run this long, since October so I shouldn't have expected any more. Finished 4min down, still well inside the top 10.
Still, very disappointing to finish so badly after a good start (I was 2min down at the spectator at the 28min mark then threw away another 2min in the last little loop) but happy to get through reasonably respectably and without injuring myself.
