Australian Relays at Mundoolun, running 3rd leg for the dream team.
Really good run, just having a great time out there on a really nice day.
In the mass start for remaining runners. A bit wide on #1, #3 and #4 trying foolishly to avoid climb but was fine relocating again on each. I took #5 cautiously as I knew I wasn't reading into the detail enough. #6 was possibly a little wide as well but as I had complete contact the entire time, I would've been running faster anyway. Going to #7 I was unsure as to whether or not i was allowed to run through the church but luckily went through anyway as it was a lot quicker I think. I drifted a little but it worked out well because I ended up just above the junction and then knew which way to go from there. A bit hesitant and cautious of #8 and a bit more drifting on #9 but the large rock caught me perfectly. Lost time on #10 checking a control in the creek for the fun of it
Fastest time and second place wooo!!

Event: Australian Orienteering Championships 2016
 

Easy shake out jog around the forest at Burleigh Heads with the crew. Photo stops along the way and we saw a whale at the lookout! Fun fun fun + felt so good to stretch the legs a bit

A really good start to the carnival!!
Happy with run, kept it nicely together which was good. Such a complex map and you couldn't zone out at all which was so fun and tricky.
Overshot #1 slightly as it came up so quick and was still getting into the map and over the confusion of how the start worked. #5 was good, I was trying to push whilst still reading the map and I could feel myself getting distracted but managed to maintain control which is good. Got a bit confused on #6 and then super confused going to #7 and had to stop for a little bit and just figure it out but then it was fine. I definitely should've planned ahead more going to and from #13, as I lost a fair bit of time in the last loop due to this.
4th place woo!!!

Super easy jog with the dogs

Did the training at Mt Coot-tha that Brenton set a while ago but had never gotten around to.
Focused on contours. Went well except got super disorientated going to #8 and did a 180 and had run about 100m along the track before I saw something familiar and turned back. Otherwise all good. A nice reminder after the other weekend that I can in fact orienteer.
Not feeling particularly fast at the moment but hopefully this will go away before the weekend!
