Event: State League 5
1 PM
Orienteering race (SL5) 1:47:18 [5] 10.56 km (10:10 / km) +254m 9:04 / km
ahr:150 max:172 shoes: Inov-8 Mudclaw 333
didn't really mind the cold climb to the start (more climb = before start = less climb during run + had a jacket)
first look at map and was very impressed - understand why 1:10000 was used as scale.
mix of open forest and complex rock with a bit of steep thrown in!
error on 4 (1 min) - jumped up some rocks then was disoriented took about 40 seconds to work out which way the map goes and where I had gone in the last 50m.
error on 6 (4 mins) - found what i thought was a termite mound on the way to 6, thought it was too good to be true and it was, ended up a few gullies N of control, realised when there was a distinct lack of rock
other errors that AP reports are probably due to drinking water .. (40 seconds on #7 since i double punched before and after the drink)
Matt caught me at #15-16, I tried to stay ahead of him, but he was a little too fast ..
very much enjoyed the map and course, including the almost 30min leg from one end of the map to the other.

Event: State League 4
1 PM
Orienteering race (SL4) 1:02:17 [4] 7.69 km (8:06 / km) +160m 7:20 / km
ahr:158 max:174 shoes: Inov-8 Mudclaw 333
errors on 8 (1 min) and 9 (2 min).
error on 11 ..
got there 3 times from 3 different directions before deciding control was not there (it had been taken in) losing 7-9 mins
went ok for 1/2 the rest .. lost a little motivation towards the end.
would not have changed my position but probably would have been 10 mins quicker if the control was there..
forest was nice and open, but a pretty hard knock on the shins without gaiters on wasn't fun.

Orienteering (control collect) 27:00 [3] 3.0 km (9:00 / km) +60m 8:11 / km
ahr:111 max:144 shoes: Inov-8 Mudclaw 333
Asked for a late start so I could watch my son play soccer in the morning, offered to help collect controls since a) family didn't come with me this time and b) for moving my start time to late.
