Event: NSW Sprint Championships
9 AM
Orienteering race (NSW Sprint Champs Pyrmont) 17:34 [5] 2.74 km (6:25 / km) +61m 5:46 / km
shoes: Asics Gel Nimbus 14 white/gold
Great area for a sprint with stairs and laneways, underpasses and complex gardens, all with spectacular harbour views. Ross's course was very good too.
Good start but then couldn't find the stairs down to 4, losing about 30 seconds with a false start in the wrong direction. Good through 12 then overshot 13 with the loss of another 30 seconds. Rest were OK although went to 17 before 14 but was on a straight line so only a few seconds lost. Missed 3rd place by 1 second and 2nd by 13 seconds so errors were costly.
Hope to run here again. Thanks Garingal!

spiked:16/19c shoes: Asics Gel Nimbus 14 white/gold
Part 1 of fun races at Sydney Uni. A reasonable first half then overshot 10 and lost 15 seconds then silly error after punching 13 (also 5) on the bridge when I headed back to 4 instead of 14, losing another 30 seconds. Missed the shorter route to the last control, with another 15 seconds gone.

Orienteering race (Big Foot Sprints race 2) 17:17 [5] 2.94 km (5:52 / km) +12m 5:45 / km
spiked:16/17c shoes: Asics Gel Nimbus 14 white/gold
Chasing start for 2nd race and made a combined big error on the 1st control, firstly missing the short route across the oval and then heading down the wrong lane. At least 1:20 gone here. The remainder were good right through to 15 when I took the longer inside route and then again managed to miss the short route to the last one.
Really enjoyed the event on a great map. Thanks Oing in particular for the courses and BigFoot for the event!

Latish run to avoid the heat and turned out nice although gusty SW head wind for much of the run.

Running 33:00 [3] 6.5 km (5:05 / km)
shoes: Asics Gel Nimbus 14 white/gold
Same run as last Tuesday except this time I felt under-dressed...I forgot my GARMIN!! So time is a guestimate and distance is from last week. Run was good even considering the warmth (23-24C). Nothing like what's expected Thursday however when they are forecasting 35C.

Note
"Rest" day: almost 5 hours at home in the garden, mainly mowing and edging lawns and then brush cutting the masses of long grass and weeds on the crown road at the back of our block. At least there were no snake sightings!
