Orienteering 49:30 [3]
shoes: Inov8 X-talon old
kaukau event.
By half way round the course I was almost convinced that I hated orienteering. Ground was so rutted, even on the steepest slopes (which there are a LOT of on kaukau). don't think I managed to run until about 8-9, which was up a track. Had to be extremely careful ankle-wise and got beaten by mum on 4 legs, including the long down hill.
Just when i thought the end was in sight, and was looking forward to a nice cold drink and getting in some shade, i managed to haul myself up a bank...and straight into a patch of ongaonga! whole body is still tingling, which is quite cool in a way :)
also, managed to get shoes muddy and soaked at 3rd to last control, so will have to give them a good wash before friday.
what else? I'm looking forward to aussie terrain after that :)
