NOL Sprint Relay at Uni of Sydney. Rach had a great first leg so I went out with a 1min lead over Ian. Tried to hard to stuff it up, losing 20s on each of the first two controls but after that didn't lose any more ground. I was pumped to finish with my lead intact and it was great watching the drama unfold over the next couple legs, with Tim losing the lead to Lachy, only to find out Lachy MP'ed, and then Anna having a great run to seal it. First NOL victory! Thanks team!

Orienteering race 14:46 [4] 3.2 km (4:37 / km)
ahr:177 max:184 shoes: Inov8 X-Talon 212 Amber/Silver
NOL Sprint Qual at Sir Joseph Banks Park in Botany. Had a reasonable run but leaked time with a couple of bad route choices and little mistakes, maybe 30s all up. I was lucky to be in the easier heat and qualified in 5th and last place. The sand was tough running and I found the vegetation mapping tricky and it was here I lost most time. The latter section was more open park and playground stuff and was bit bland, with some trick controls thrown in for interest/annoyance.
We followed this up with a quick dip at Bronte which was closed for the som big surf. We hung out in the swimming pool for a bit, which was chilly but fun as the occasional wave swept in over the wall.
