(sick)

Too ill to make it to the MM O' Champs, so couldn't defend my favourite title for a 7th year in a row.

:-(

It's turning into a very bad year for titles. Lack of MM and Log titles hurt the most though.

8 hrs of mapping. Left a bit early as it was getting cold and my flu isn't good.

Warning to SA Champs competitors... I've had to resort to GPS use to map 1 forest. You've been warned!

Orienteering (Le Creux Froid) 56:20 [3] *** 5.4 km (10:26 / km) +240m 8:32 / km
17c shoes: Inov-8 Oroc 280 #2

WOC Relay

Ran leg 2 behind Michael.

Mike had a horrible lead out, getting badly lost together with GBR. Recovered over the latter half and ran really well together with the guys who were lapping him.

With no pressure, I had a very good run, although maybe a fraction slow due to lack of runners doing my pace nearby me. One middlish mistake on the last loop when I got carried away with things again.

Leg placing is 27th out of 40, some 19 mins off the pace. Leg 2 Results

Took the team from 38th to 33rd. Jeremy took over and got 1 more place for the team. Nice to have a SA Relay team again.

Men B heat

Good clean run, with almost no mistakes due to the legal scouting rule. Still not fast enough though.

Pos 30 out of 44. Some 4.5 mins off Mueller. Big who-wha over dsq's. Very poorly mapped area and ethically unsound courses. Once again, could have done with a bit of luck and been put in an easier heat.
