11 AM

Orienteering race (SA Sprint Champs) 12:20 [5] *** 2.1 km (5:52 / km)
spiked:15/16c shoes: Inov8 Mudclaw 272 Red #1

Oak Valley Estate, 1:5'000 2.5m contours

Finished 5th. 2nd last starter ahead of Michael. Managed to hold him off till near the end (14). Was pretty chuffed with that. Though it might be closer to the podium, but there's a lot of talent piling in between. Only 1 mistake, a wrong route choice to #10 that probably cost 10-15s.

Orienteering warm up/down 10:00 [3] 1.0 km (10:00 / km)
shoes: Inov8 Mudclaw 272 Red #1

4 PM

Orienteering race (W Cape Champs Middle) 45:59 [4] *** 5.7 km (8:04 / km) +160m 7:04 / km
spiked:5/19c shoes: Inov-8 Oroc 280 #1

Highlands East, 1:10'000 5m

Horrible run. Started off fair. Went long way round to #1, instead of cutting across. #4 in the wrong place was disconcerting. Then again at #7 where I lost about 1 min. Lost a few secs on trying to cut a corner on the long leg, but then made parallel error on #9, loosing 1.5 min. Then found an extra depression at #10, another minute. Then got drawn by another control at #12, 30s more. More or less gave up after that and jogged the rest to save my legs for Sunday.

Finished 11th, my worst Champs result ever. Was already in 10th place at #12. :-(

6 PM

Road Running (Randburg TT) 22:14 [4] 5.0 km (4:27 / km)
shoes: Asics Gel Nimbus 2007

Long time since my last Randburg TT.

Went out fast, 4:05 first km. Then eased off to save myself for the weekend. Was nice to see that I've rediscovered a bit of speed in the last week.

11 AM

Orienteering (Praia da Vieira Park) 23:29 [2] 3.5 km (6:43 / km)
shoes: Salomon 3D S-Lab Red/Yel #3

2 loops of sprint training. Mix of urban, beach and forest.

Rain was coming in horizontally, making up for yesterday.
4 PM

Orienteering (Osso da Baleia) 1:18:51 [3] *** 8.1 km (9:44 / km)
17c shoes: Inov-8 Oroc 280 #1

Hung controls for a middle distance. Ran a course that was used as M40 for the regional champs 2 weeks ago.

Beautiful area with younger trees than normal. 5m contours instead of the standard 2.5m was also better. Lots of precision green mapping as well. Probably the bed map of the weekday out controls 17-14 before hand. Then 1-13. Ran back to 10 to meet up with Sarah who had been collecting until that point. Then followed her home.

Orienteering warm up/down 10:00 [3] 1.5 km (6:40 / km)
shoes: Inov-8 Oroc 280 #1

To the start.
