Easter day 2, Carwell's Labyrinth, Clandulla. 13th.
Clean through 1-6 but lost some time in 7, coming in to the left after recognising it as a dangerous control. Don't think I recognised a clearing in the forest at any stage at Easter. Came in too far right to 10, losing a little time. Lost concentration to 12 and drifted on a short leg. Chased Aislinn up the hill and then made a public error, going to the wrong spectator control.
Probably needed to be more careful coming over spurs into the rock - I knew I needed to take it carefully but didn't follow through enough.
Would have been happy with the time minus the errors, but that's not how orienteering works! Legs were feeling good though.

Course 2 day1 - Splits

Easter Prologue, The Common, Rylstone. =5th.
Just for the record, I was as surprised by the result as anyone. When I heard them saying through the spectator that I was on a good run my immediate thought was 'I hope I haven't missed a loop or done something out of order'.
Never really felt on top of it and wasn't reading ahead, as evidenced by my 360° turn leaving the spectator. Legs weren't feeling quick either and couldn't move Kelly at all. Ran straight to all the controls though, and didn't really lose any time. Maybe forest sprints are my thing, like the '06 Bendigo prologue.
Good start to Easter :)

Mt Tarrengower, relocation exercise. Navigating really badly, even when I had the map. Must have been distracted by boys on motorbikes.

Mt Tarrengower downhill exercise. Did better at this one, although was pretty off on #5. Found the mapping harder to read today than usual.
