Orienteering race (Australian Long Champs) 55:17 [5] *** 6.86 km (8:04 / km) +175m 7:09 / km
spiked:14/17c shoes: Inov8 Oroc 350
Slap Up Creek map, a combination of open farmland and undulating forest with lots of granite outcrops. Not overly difficult nav but still a couple of errors that cost me about 2 minutes all up. First mistake at 4 where I went too far right and lost about a minute. Good through to 8 where I missed it low, surprised with 4th quickest to 9 going straight rather than track option. Got confused by small green near 12 stopping short then OK through to the finish.
Had hoped for top 10 today so 7th was a good result considering my lack of fitness and, on top of my 6th in the Sprint yesterday, meant a good weekend. Looking forward to Middle and Relays next weekend.
