Nice interesting area, although seeing the fattest, blackest snake I have seen in a long time made me a little more cautious running through the long grass around the creeks.

Started off very badly, when Big Ev caught 2 minutes on me at the first control. Lost another 30 seconds in the control circle at number 2, and had Ev run through. Got 3 alright, but probably lost 4 minutes on number 4. Spent the rest of the course plodding around, and didn't see anyone else on course 1 for the rest of the race.

Event: Australian 3-Day Orienteering Championships
 

Wasn't really expecting much from this, but this was even worse. Started in the last available start, with only 2 other starters, and didn't even see any people on other loops around the common controls. Stuffed up the long downhill leg really badly, and lost a lot of time piss-farting around making sure I was going to the right controls.

Running slowly and navigating badly for most of the race.

Short run after work. Was getting pretty dark, and it felt bloody cold out. Also started to drizzle when I stepped out the door, so it wasn't the nicest run I have done recently.

Running a little better today, and didn't blow any huge chunks of time, but was still a little slack around the control circles, and with direction. Hopefully I will have some more strength on the hills in Tassie, or it could be rather interesting.

Ran pretty well, but again really struggled up the hills. Hit most of the controls pretty well, but took a pretty round-about route the the first, despite the fact that I ran straight past it on the way to my first control during the morning race.
