shoes: Inov-8 X-Talon 212 b
Very steep climb to the start with great views over Hobart. I was a bit worried about how steep the course might be but the setter was pretty kind with most of it downhill or contouring and only one really tough climb. Course was pretty easy with lots of tracks but still good fun. I felt pretty good and had a pretty clean run winning by just under a minute and extending my overall lead to just over 5 minutes.

Had a pretty good run, it was a pretty easy long sprint and I felt stronger than I did on the previous couple of days. Still only second place, 10 seconds behind Greg Barbour.

Felt more comfortable in this terrain and pushed it pretty hard with just a couple of little 20 second mistakes at the start and end. Won by 2.5 minutes and took the overall lead.

Orienteering race 40:24 [4] 6.41 km (6:18 / km) +166m 5:35 / km
shoes: Inov-8 X-Talon 212 b
Very wet, tracks were flowing strongly. Found the tracks really confusing at the start which influenced me to take a stupid cross country route to 3. Not too bad for the rest but still a bit sloppy in places.
Somehow sneaked a win by 5 seconds after being a couple of minutes down early.
Orienteering race 45:00 [3] 6.09 km (7:23 / km) +2m 7:22 / km
shoes: Inov-8 Oroc 280
I was clueless here and didn't really enjoy it. Blowing a gale with sandy rain coming in horizontally, had to hold the map in front of my face to protect my eyes for the little section on the beach.
Didn't start well nearly hitting number 2 before 1 and losing about 2 minutes. Got a little better from there but not much. Had times when I felt as though I knew where I was for the whole leg but even then I couldn't find the controls. Most of the time I couldn't identify a lot of the features I ran past even when I was going where I intended to.
Finished 8th out of 13 but only 5:30 down so still in contention overall.

Had an ok run, think I was second about 12 seconds down on Fraser Mills.
