Orienteering 29:38 [5]

Middle distance in gold mining terrain. Not as tricky as perhaps expected, but certainly tricky enough for errors to be costly!
Headed out from the start hard as the first leg had some good attackpoints and catching features. Perhaps i'm too used to twilight events and the running speed possible in them? Didn't seem to do me any harm though :)
Small blip on 3, turning onto the wrong hill in the circle. lost 20s. Happy through to 6, where i read the number for 9 and had to double check! Caught Aislinn around here. Grace joined us on the way to 9 (or 10?) And not long after we caught up Kathryn too.
I lead 3 of us astray on the way to 15. Grace ignored us and got it right, although we were all back together half way to 16. Then picked up Suzanne at 19, lost 5-10s getting my bearing to the final control off, and on into the finish for my 2nd win of the weekend :)
A good fun race.

Running 15:00 [3]

Jogged the long drive out of my legs. Just down the road from the scout camp to the local tennis courts and back.

Running warm up/down 25:00 [3]

15WU, 10WD.

Orienteering 15:52 [5]

Easter prologue sprint.
Classic uni campus with a fair amount of bush. First leg took us through a couple of buildings and straight into the bush. Missed the start of a couple of small paths, but was pretty 50-50. Short leg 1-2 to a ditch, near a weirdly cut index contour, which I read as another ditch. Lost 15s looking in the wrong one as a result.
Smashed through the undergrowth to 5, thanks to Glendale last week toughening me up :) Too high on 7, losing 15s again.
From there it was into the buildings. No real time loss to speak of. Happy with my route choices and reading ahead. Have a dodgily fast looking split 18-19 as a result of my fence hurdling skills ;)
Never felt like I got up to full speed, but a clean enough race had me end up ahead.

No time for a jog before driving down to Vic. And too late when i got there.

Running 1:00:00 [3]

With Matt and Grace. From our house over to Ainslie. Then a bit of a corridor exercise I'd sketched up. Missed the last couple of controls a bit as it got dark (that's what i'll blame anyway!)

Good shake out for the legs

Football 1:15:00 [3]

Finished early to go watch Aus vs Oman. I left early so as not to get myself in trouble with any comments when Aus went 2-0 down!

Orienteering 48:52 [3]

ACT event out at Tharwa Tor. Really enjoyed the course. Nice open running for the most part, which was nice after yesterday's efforts! A couple of small misses on 3 and 4, again, climbing too far! Just too strong on hills obviously ;) Got well stuck in green on the way to 11 - had 3 of us in there calling out to each other trying to find a way through! And another miss on 20, where i passed the rock on the wrong side and didn't spot the flag.

Only other things to note were having to time my run across a long line of cows (i assume the same ones which Grace later hid from). And pulled off an impressive superman dive going down the hill to #20, luckily landing in the long grass rather than the rocks!
