Running warm up/down 30:00 [2] 4.0 km (7:30 / km)
shoes: Silva K120
Warm-up and drills for Day 1 of the WA State Champs. Felt pretty good until ominously my stomach started feeling uneasy just before I started.
Orienteering race (WA State Champs Day 1) 59:14 [4] 8.6 km (6:53 / km)
shoes: Silva K120
Hmm, just a little bit too long for a Middle race and not a good day for me to have to run further. Lost 2 minutes on dodgy control no 2. but then regrouped and orienteered okay for the rest of the course. Main problem was bad stomach which kept on getting worse from around 1/3 of the way around the course. Repeatedly had to stop to go to the toilet and could only jog around the final loop. Was very surprised with placing (5th) considering but was miles off the pace of Grant, Rob and Julian.
