Running 30:00 [3]
Warm up/down
Orienteering 16:40 [3]
8th place in NSW sprint champs and the NOL final.
Made a bad mistake near the start of the course which dropped me 25s and from there it was impossible to recover; I was in 22nd place after 4 controls out of 44 competitors. This and bleeding time due to a few small errors through the last few controls lost me about 45 of the 58s I lost through the race to Oscar who won.
The rest of the race was okay and even I even bagged the longest route choice leg but after the start I had I just wasn't going to recover.
Cracking map and great courses - thanks to organises for an awesome weekend.

Running 50:00 [3]
Warm up/down both races
Orienteering race 11:55 [3]
Sydney Uni sprint relay. Sadly mispunched on this bad boy as I was on track for a bloody good run! 11:55 was my time although I missed a checkpoint which would have cost me maybe 15s. Still considering how slack I've been with training was pretty happy about that
Orienteering 14:24 [3]
NOL sprint qualification race and finished 4th in my heat so am headed to the final!
Took it a bit easy through the start and middle parts of the race to save something for tomorrow but after making an error 2/3 through (I'm still not 100% sure that the circle was centred on the right feature...) I needed to hammer it home. Just checked the splits, won 4 of the last 7 so clearly pushing hard paid off!
Just qualified on a good map and a well set course.
