Orienteering race (WA Classic Day 2) 1:27:59 [2] 5.64 km (15:36 / km) +153m 13:44 / km
shoes: Merrell Continuum
Much cooler in the morning and first starter on H3 (on any course in fact). Strolled along happily to #1 and #2, messed up #3 until Carol showed the way and then got very confused in the complex rock at #4 and #5. A whole bunch of people caught up to me and we did the back and forth routine until tRicky led me (and then the mob) into #4; repeat at #5 until Lilly showed the old hands how to navigate and we all headed off to easier country. Made a hash of approaching #12 but otherwise was reasonably on target.

Orienteering (Searching for SI) 1:22:48 [1] 3.85 km (21:32 / km) +55m 20:06 / km
shoes: Merrell Continuum
One of the SI bricks was dropped during control collection on Day 1 so I tried to replicate the route taken by the collector in the hope of spotting it. Reversed his route to start with then came back the way he did it. Somewhere over 4 kms of additional walking that my legs now regret, particularly as it was to no avail. Hammered the cake stall before and after to improve the outlook.

Orienteering race (WA Classic Day 1) 1:18:50 [2] 5.46 km (14:26 / km) +111m 13:06 / km
shoes: Merrell Continuum
Warm afternoon stroll around an H3 course - no major navigational issues except #5 where Alex's "economical" mapping had me hunting in rock that he didn't consider worthy of a mention. Picked up the rest of the controls fairly easily. Most of the climb seemed to be up the hill to #11.
