Note
Maybe I'm easily annoyed, but when I booked flights to Sydney for myself & Geoff for Mar 4/5 weekend on the basis of NSW sprint champs being @Cockatoo Island on the Sunday, preceded by a sprint @Rookwood cemetery on the Saturday, I certainly didn't expect those events to then completely vanish from the ONSW calendar - and I am now more than a little pissed off!
7 PM
orienteering (Apex Park) 20:00 [4] 2.4 km (8:20 / km)
shoes: Asics Kayano 22
Similar format to the last time we did a sprint relay here - teams of 2, each person runs twice. I was paired with Dante, who runs very fast. And even though I had a bit of trouble with getting across the creek, because the channel seems to be more washed out since recent rains, I tried to run hard and we actually came in first!
6:32 (0.7km)
7:32 (1.0km)
5:52 (0.7km)
The bad news came when Kate Marschall was looking at her map and saying "I punched the same culvert control twice, but the codes should have been different" and then both she & I realised that there were 2 culvert controls, very close to each other. Might have been 15m apart on the map but they were closer on the ground (and the one we punched twice by accident had an unmapped barrier around it so the control was hanging from this whereas the other control was flat on the ground) and given that it was my second-last control of the race and I honestly thought I had already been to all of the controls which were out there, I didn't even check the code but just focused on how I was going to get across the creek next up.
Suitably humiliated now. Feel as though I am becoming far more scatterbrained when orienteering than ever I used to be :(

Beforehand with the group for 12 min and afterwards I went down the creek towards the forest & back which was 9 min each way.
