Orienteering race 43:29 [3] *** 4.4 km (9:53 / km) +150m 8:27 / km
shoes: Montrail Rockridge
Didn't have a very good race. Went very low on 4 and ended up close to my first control (Not sure what happened). Overran 11 by a long way and ended up having to backtrack. I ran around the large crag and was sure I would see a 2m high crag from the bottom where I was. Needless to say, it wasn't 2m tall...
I think I had pretty much a crisis of confidence after that so didn't seem to hit controls spot on (even though they were relatively easy...). I also don't particularly enjoy this, "I can see where I have to go, now I just have to slog my way up there", orienteering.

Orienteering race (Night O) 17:30 [3] 2.5 km (7:00 / km)
shoes: Inov8 Flite 195
Awesome race. I am posting this comment only after running on the weekend so it was by far the best of the three. I knew the area pretty well so I always knew where I was. Almost missed control 6 (not sure how I read that).
Been having problems lately with my orienteering. Lots of things that I need to sort out before the WOC sprint.

Running race 9:56 [5] 3.0 km (3:19 / km)
shoes: Inov8 Flite 195
Was aiming for around 9:45 which I know that I can do. Just wasn't my day today and I dipped too badly in the middle. Conditions are not awesome for a really good time though.
Running 40:00 [3] 8.5 km (4:42 / km)
shoes: Hi Tec Infinities
No other shoes other than my flites so decided to use my infinities. Were ok for the run, though I would have rather had my running shoes.

Note
(rest day)
Just starting to look at events to do next year. Sprint the Bay seems like a pretty cool event. It's 6 sprint events in 3 days, my kind of event! Still looking to find any other cool events for next year. If anyone knows of some cool events (preferably with a couple of sprint races) let me know. I am keen to compete on different levels, so these races would be cool because they aren't WRE but it is still a step up from the usual South African event (especially if I get to race against Ross Morrison).
