Orienteering 2:10:00 [3] 15.0 km (8:40 / km) +300m 7:53 / km
shoes: Inov8 X-Claw 275
More field checking for the Jim Sawkins Classic. More trouble on the kids courses and difficulty with lots of thick new green ... The open spur gully parts may not be the most technical or challenging orienteering but running through them is a delight, enjoyed the first 2 hours of this very much (4 hours all up).
Edit: forgot to mention that I saw 4 wombats, which is 400% more live wild wombats than I've seen before, ever. They have a cute habit of running into their dens and stopping with the butts sticking out.

Metr-O at Campbell Park. Goal was to minimise additional distance (ie., keeping tight to intended line) and to heavily simplify to maximise running speed. Did pretty well, except #5 where I had trouble convincing myself that my compass was really pointing in the right direction, and #7 where I lazily contoured wide of the line to avoid 2 contours and then got my direction a little wrong at the end. Fun course: you really had to change mind-set for the sprint-like section at the end after all the long open legs.

Mid-week O at Aranda Bushlands. Cruised around but tried to keep it steady up the hills. The hills felt really hard. Was a bit sloppy around the circle on 3-4 controls, just being a bit too cruisey mentally. Felt really wiped out the rest of the afternoon at work.

First lunch time run from new work digs at Hawker, a commute over to 2B10 for some coffee beans. A little bit further than expected but quite nice running via the Pinnacles, Mt Painter and Aranda bushlands.
