Orienteering race 2:25:36 [4] *** 12.91 km (11:17 / km) +140m 10:42 / km
(sick) shoes: X-Talon 212
Oceania day 2 Osgiliath Wood
Okm 7.8, 23 controls
Still had gastro issue and was not sure till the last minute if I would be able to run. I did run but result was awful.
I started and when I picked up map and looked at it I quickly realised that the direction streamers lead to and 1st control were exactly 90 degrees!
I just turned and went in the right direction which was just wrong!
So, when I could not find first control I was really confused. I reralised what the problem was only after i finished the course - I did not get to start triangle and started navigation thinking I was in the start triangle!
Anyway, tried to forget about it and kept going. I did not feel fresh from the beginning so just tried to concentrate on navigation. It was not too bad until control 5. First off all, I missed clearing which I was going to use to go to 5. Anyway, got to attackpoint and went to 5 from there but it took me ages before I got it! Looking at gps route I still don't understand how I missed it - it goes straight through(or few meters away) control!
After that it felt really disappointed and almost lost motivation. Kept running trying to be conservative which was easy because I was slow. All was good until N14. I don't remember what those trees called (look at the map - from control 13 down to 20 along the shore, marked as light green) but it was a torture going through it. Orcs territory! All teerain around beach was slow to go through with low visibility.

Warm up/down 5:00 [1] 1.0 km (5:00 / km)
shoes: X-Talon 212
Orienteering race 1:24:59 [5] **** 10.44 km (8:08 / km) +100m 7:46 / km
(sick) shoes: X-Talon 212
okm 7.2, 18 controls.
First day of Oceania, this was my first bush event since Aus champs.
Surprisingly had a good speed in the beginning considering I had gastro issue day before (lost lots of water) and could not sleep. Two big mistakes spoiled the race, but I had a good sense it was just a beginning and all good staff yet to come.
First was at 4 where I just undershoot slightly and could not catch where I was. But the silliest one was at 11. I crossed road at drinking station thinking I was just 50 meters from controls. To my surprise, I could not find control! It took me 10 mins or so to realise I crossed road at another drinking station!

I was exited to see some big guns warming up and during the race (I saw Daniel Hubmann, Olav Lundanes, Matias Mertz)
Terrain was so different to Australia but so nice! Pine forest is fantastic!
