Orienteering race 2:02:45 [5] 16.43 km (7:28 / km) +570m 6:22 / km
shoes: Nvii Terra TT
Easter Day 2 - Long 4th +11.49
What a day. Some very tough and unrelenting terrain out at Gumble, both physically and technically. Start ok on the first 3, then dropped 3 minutes on #4. Got through the next few longish legs ok but did not feel particularly good, then got passed by Pat (again) on the way to #10. Things begun to go downhill from here, including stopping for ~20 seconds on the track trying to figure out what the hell I was doing. Eventually chose to go past #17 on the way to #10, which turned out to be a good option, then proceeded to drop nearly a minute heading up the water drop at #11. Sculled the 600mL, then headed up the 'runnable' right route to #12 of which I walked most the way. Drifted across through the next few to #16 pretty well with a few other guys around, then the long leg back to #17 was ok too, but began to physically really struggle. Headed up the 'runnable' track to #18, only to walk as some more weakness decided to get the better of me, then fluff around at the end as well for good measure. Stuffed #19, very hesitant across to #20, then got passed yet again by Pat with Ali in tow to #21. Bumbled along behind and eventually dropped into the finish, where I was not surprised to hear how far down I was.
I got worried out of trying hard I think on the day, as I don't really remember breathing particularly hard or feeling particularly tired, just very hot. As it turns out, glad I suffered through and orienteered fairly well.

Easter Day 1 - Middle =1st
A fairly unique map, not entirely unlike Wee Jasper, essentially one line of rocks. Managed to roll my ankle on the way to #7 and then a miss at 9, but other than that held it together pretty well. Pretty rocky underfoot so felt hard to get much momentum going. Shoutout to Aston for blowing up sufficiently for us to share the win.

Easter Day 0 - Sprint 4th +0.49
Back down to Earth after the dizzying heights of winning the ACT Sprint champs last weekend. Relatively satisfied with the performance, not the most difficult map but still managed to catch me out taking the longer route a couple of times. Happy to be closer to the front than I was a few weeks ago.
