Orienteering 53:10 [4] 5.9 km (9:01 / km)
Aus relay champs, Moondyne Road, 3rd
And the outcome of Aus Champs week is that I perform better in the rain. Was really unenthused before racing though!
It was a real slog out there. Even the yellow wasn't easy running because of long grass and/or hidden rocks. Was a bit scrappy on 1 and 2, but clean through the rest of it except for 8 (when I caught a glimpse of Anna, but I hadn't found the control yet).
Pretty excited running along the fence to 7 to hear Toph announce that the Vic boys had come in first Aussie team :)

Orienteering 1:36:09 [4] 10.7 km (8:59 / km)
Aus long champs, Warranine Brook, 9th
I was not a happy camper after this race! Probably not as bad as I first thought in hindsight (although Lizzie did catch 14 mins by number 9).
Lost time on 3 - I got really close but then headed off east because I thought I could see the dam. Pushed it up the hill to 8, then proceeded to hit the track and do a 180.
Really hit the wall on the way to 14 and got a bit demoralised as more people went past me. Managed to keep Anna in sight for almost 3 legs, which got me close enough to the finish. Third fastest split on the uphill leg to the last control.
I think I got a bit too much sun - I struggled to get a powerade down on the way home without feeling queasy and wasn't feeling great in the evening.

Lizzie stood me up for a Kings Park run, so dodged golf balls on the Hazlemere golf course with Jim.

Orienteering 15:23 [4] 2.2 km (7:00 / km)
Aus sprint champs, Curtin Uni, 11th (again)
Pretty happy with this. Campus sprints have generally seen me a bit off the pace in recent times, so good to see a bit of speed in the legs! A few hesitations, and slightly sub-optimum routes (and had to go through bunting to get to the last control??), but pretty clean.
