Running 57:25 [3] 9.5 km (6:03 / km)
shoes: Asics GT 2150
The Maidens from Jill E's in Bunbury, took a map but found it very difficult to read as I was wearing sunnies. For sand dunes there should probably be a lot more slope-tags on the map, and also noticed that there were no index contours (will be Jill's next project!). Half the time I was going uphill when my reading of the map would have told me otherwise, and vice versa.
Slow because of the hills and deep sand on several of the tracks. Lovely Spring morning, saw only 2 people and a dog.

Orienteering race 45:22 [4] **** 5.6 km (8:06 / km)
spiked:8/10c shoes: Inov8 X Talon 212
WA Long Distance Champs at Malmalling. GPS 6.22, pretty straight again.
Nice flat run to 1 on a bearing, but from 2/3 of the distance I could see the spur behind the control. Used a track in middle part of 1-2 before heading uphill. stopped when it looked like I was practically on the spur supposedly behind the control, checked a boulder and realised it was further downhill so went back up and sure enough the control was right on the side of the spur, so Eric had done a poor job with the contours. Track option on longish 2-3 was way too tempting, despite losing height, no problems with control. Bit slow into 4, wanted to be sure on short leg. 4-5 went through the area that anyone taking the other 2-3 option would have had to do, and it was rubbish! Very slow knee-waist high undergrowth. Lost a minute and a half to Anthea on this leg, obviously I can't push through this sort of stuff like I used to. 5-6 was a long leg (1.4km), went fairly straight (found animal tracks downhill through green after crossing the ridge S. of 5), but surprised I didn't lose more time to Anthea here as I had to walk for 200m up a lsight gradient (lacking fitness!). 6,7,8 all straightforward controls. Went a bit wide through pines to 9, then stood around for a while trying to interpret the map. At home with a magnifier I can see there are two little side watercourses neither of which could I see standing in sunlight with sweat in my eyes. Must get the drill out and attach magnifier to compass! another minute to Anthea. Ok on 10, then finish. Nearly 4 mins behind Anthea, but managed to stay ahead of all the M55s. Clean sweep of State Champs (sprint, middle, long) in my final year.
