Orienteering race 45:42 [5] *** 9.3 km (4:55 / km)
spiked:24/25c shoes: Brooks Pure Cadence
Nice new map of Manly Vale/Allambie Heights including the SE part of Manly Dam. Good course with lots of bush and the street controls hard to link efficiently. Perhaps another bush control placed below 23-2 would have made 2 more enticing (vs the street slog between 23-11) and given another route choice from 30.
Did a clockwise loop starting with a tough climb through the streets via 17-9-27-8-29-20. Then some bush 19-28-18. Lost about a minute losing the track to 28 and going indirectly through the white. Nice run across the dam footbridge and through the bush for 16-7-30-13. Hesitated a little looking too early for the bare rock (23). Feeling strong and pushed the pace around the streets of Allambie Heights 11-1-21-22-12-24 then a bit of recovery through the tricky tracks for 6-26-25 before a sprint finish across the ovals picking up 14-5. Apart from 28 another clean run.
Skipped 10, 3, 2, 4 & 15 for 540pts. Was 40secs late so netted 530. Andy & Gill 480's, both tapering for the 6ft Track marathon on the weekend.

Sprint Final at UNSW
Really enjoyed this course with lots of route choices, changes of direction and concentration required the whole time. Big error looking on the wrong side of the path for 2. Mistakenly thought I was approaching 2 from the parallel path to the south. Took me ages to correct ending up too far north (2mins). Otherwise splits were fairly consistent. Finished well down again but happy with my navigation apart from 2.

NOL Sprint Heat A
Nice new map at Botany with sand/scrub in the west and ponds & park in the east. Stuffed up the start not orienting my map properly. Lost a minute running west instead of east. Okay through the dunes except for taking a bad line through the bush to 4. Some hesitation here and there and slowed down at each control to check numbers. Finished well down in 24th / 31 in a high quality field.
