Orienteering race 1:04:14 [5] 6.6 km (9:44 / km) +255m 8:09 / km
shoes: Inov8 X-Talon 190
Oceania Long Champs, Transit Flats
challenging route choice course with tricky tin mining sections, very hot again and should perhaps have taken a gel or jelly baby onto the course, Bill caught me at #2 and I hung on until #7
#2 staying high and contouring did me no favours again [30+]
#8 saw Bill heading off to #9 so felt I must be closer than I was, slowed down, messy in circle - another knoll which was a boulder [60]
#10 didn't find path, missed left, had a drink before punching [30]
(#11 ran across rough open but walked up hill)
5th, 13mins behind Carsten

Orienteering race 47:18 [5] 4.1 km (11:32 / km) +215m 9:08 / km
shoes: Inov8 Trailroc 245
Oceania Public Race 4, Coles Bay
great area with a lot of rock detail, nailed pretty much everything, but still got beaten by eight mins, wasn't running appropriate pace thru terrain (fastest split between spectator controls)
#7 crossed the green to stay high and contour into control, evidently too slow, there was probably a track through the green somewhere else [30]
#16 took a drink, plodded up to control [20]
#20 didn't use indistinct path behind control until I hit it and came around the back, could've gone straighter and harder [40]
4th (because Bill ran 21E and Carsten mispunched)

Orienteering race 32:54 [5] 3.7 km (8:54 / km) +120m 7:39 / km
shoes: Inov8 Trailroc 245
Oceania Public Race 3, Kelvedon
very hot, ran quite well until Bill passed me at #8, approaching the spectator control had to fight to stop my brain melting
#7 nastly leg over a spur into sharp dolerite shale, difficult to spot boulders (Bill messed up too) [100]
#8 tempted by easy way out of control, lost too much height, and lost touch with Bill [30]
#12 brain melt, expected crossing point sooner, didn't expect track, then almost ran passed control to the drinks [10]
#14 started running towards #16 (distracted by attractive W21) [30]
6th, 5.5mins behind Carsten

Orienteering 39:29 [3] 3.6 km (10:58 / km) +110m 9:31 / km
shoes: Inov8 X-Talon 190
Oceania Middle Distance Champs, Rajah Rock
great area, but very hot again, ran quite defensively, getting used to the area, and these two factors lead to a relatively poor result
#2 didn't need to climb so much, stopped early [40]
#7 poor route, contouring into rocks, when the straight line added only one more contour, reached collecting feature too high [150]
#10 stopped early and slightly left [30]
#12 drifted left (banana) [30]
#15 caught in rocks leaving control
two fastest splits near the end so I'd say I left something out there
7th, 11mins behing Carsten Jorgensen
