Orienteering race 28:57 [3] 2.4 km (12:04 / km) +75m 10:26 / km
Oceania Middle Distance at Manga Pirau. Spent the morning watching the elites ducking in and out of sand dunes across the river. Fantastic set up for World Cup event. - After yesterday's introduction to sand dunes, I was very, very apprehensive about today's event. Started off cautiously and things were going ok. Was lucky enough to be led into a potentially tricky 'beach' control. Overtook Kiwi girl and just focused on good nav in the thick, low visibility area. Very happy with run. Winning time 26.22, came 3rd in 28.57. Yeah.

Orienteering race 1:32:58 [3] 6.1 km (15:14 / km) +55m 14:35 / km
Oceania Day 2 at Osgiliath Wood - Hobit country. Terrain varied from beautiful pine forest to incredibly thick forest with low horizontal eye blindingly branches to where am I on the beach. Stuffed up first 2 controls completely. Thought of Simone Niggli and restarted the race. Stuffed it up again down at the beach. Had no idea how to read this stuff!!!
Will have to learn pace counting for when the going gets tough. Winning time 66 mins, my time 92 mins. Although I made several costly mistakes, it was so completely different (in terms of orienteering) to what I have done so far, I was really proud of myself for finishing.

Orienteering race 1:28:52 [3] 7.2 km (12:21 / km)
Day 5 at Beechworth Gorge - was buggered and had sore ankles before I started! Some noodling from 4 - 5 (lost 2 mins), missed track to 10 (lost 2 mins), tripped over a broken fence to 11 and slammed sore left ankle onto rock (some severe swearing). Felt like I was out there forever and was quite happy when I was only 4 mins slower than Isabelle, the speedy Norwegian girl does not count with 1.15.00 ... lots of hobbling around for rest of the day. My ankles really did not need an extra long course on day 5. Overall quite happy with gradual improvement over the 5 days. Learnt heaps :)
