Compass training exercise in the flatter, vaguer parts of Toohey Forest. Did pretty well just a couple of little misses but need to do it at higher speed.
Orienteering (Rocks) 37:00 [4] ***** 3.3 km (11:13 / km) +120m 9:29 / km
shoes: Jalas FLX
A short middle distance type of course mostly through really rocky parts of Toohey Forest. I did okay getting into control circles but was hopeless in the circle. It wasn't helped by there being no control flags but I was having a lot of trouble matching the map to the terrain and once or twice was a bit careless with my approach/attack point.
I was wearing an old pair of Jalas shoes with metal nubbins and boy they got uncomfortable in this session with a blister starting to develop under one big toe. Definitely a pair of shoes for softer terrain.
