Event: ACT Classic Series: ACT League #8, Ballinafad Creek
 

Green was a bit easy and orange a bit hard so I offered to shadow Aoife around the Orange. She did fine, but would probably have been more cautious without me there. I did ask at one point if she’d been looking at her map or compass “No...” but when I asked her to show me where she was, she knew exactly.

There were times I couldn’t keep up (in the open) and time she was a fair bit slower than I would have been. Also, I would not have detoured so far around the cow.

Red4 (under time pressure after long drive and going out with Aoife...) sounds like a good option from the tales of woe with Red 3.
Trouble on 3 (too high and did not see flag) and nervous on 5 but kept going and got there.

Pretty scrappy forest underfoot, felt I could run ok but not willing to push it with poky sticks everywhere. Pretty special to see frost and ice out on the course, especially at this time of day!

Event: ACT Metro Series: Junior League #6 & Map Mates #4, Mt Ainslie North
 

Made it to orienteering! Started as late as possible for the air to warm up and it was lovely out there! Had a bit of trouble in spots, especially 7. Quite happy to be moving along ok after such a long break.

Wheezy afterwards but no relapse :)

Parents vs kids at netball. I am still hopeless! I can catch the ball (amazing!) but hopeless at passing, hopeless at stopping when I need to, and if iactilually manage to stop my feet, the rest of me keeps going...

Still recovering from a cold.
