Sunday Apr 29 | ||
| Orienteering race (MetroLeague) 42:00 [3] | |
| slept:4.0 | ||
| Decided to skip the Night champs last night in favour for dinner and getting drunk at Rafferty's Resort. Had to get up at 7am and get lift to Turramurra, train to Artarmon and got a lift to Castle Hill with Andy.
Felt very seedy all day. Got thru the race, but was just jogging. Andy caught me 2mins about half way, but i beat him back just after he lost time near the end. Typical Sydney metro, lots of tracks, bush thick in parts but otherwise ok. | ||

| Adventure Race (AROC) 5:20:00 [4] | |
| At Rafferty's Resort on South East Lake Macquarie
with Mounty and Katrin Started with a short rogaine around the resort, on a pretty accurate base map (ie buildings, no contours). We ran this quite well until misreading controls descriptions and then missing a control causing us to change routes a bit. On the short bike ride out to the coast we picked up a few spots and were into 3rd. Coasteering was awesome, but quite short. Big rock shelves with 2 swims and a bit of snorkelling in a huge rockpool. We were within sight of Adrenalin Adventure and CBD but never caught them. The next bike ride to Caves beach was short and muddy but we passed CBD when they made a nav error. A rogaine around the Caves Beach map (Day 1 of Christmas 5-days many years ago, maybe '96?) including crawling thru sand cave tunnels of Cave's beach 'cave'. CBD were on our tail whole leg and caught back up at the start of the next bike leg back to Lake Mac at Swansea. Onto the Toyboy and chased CBD across the lake to Wangi Wangi, with AA in sight. A short run around the point, collecting 4 controls, and finding the locations of the next controls as you progressed. Again still with CBD and we paddled back and started the next bike leg together. AA had made a mistake on Wangi Point and we ended up in the lead. We finished the normal course in just over 3hrs. After a slow transition we headed off on the bonus leg, a bike rogaine expected to take about 1.5hrs. But recent heavy rain resulted in half the course being underwater and it was very slow going. We raced AA for the next hour and at a few stages we, AA and CBD were all together. But in the end we had the cleanest finish and got back just in time, or a little late depending on whose watch you looked at. Mounty pleaded our case and they let the result stand- Stingers 1st, AA 2nd. CBD were 10mins late back and lost all their bonus points. I was really hammered at the finish. Didn't eat enough for 5.5hrs of racing. | ||

| http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=892860
with Prong in my new Red7 double, Damon and Fleur in Mirage, Matt deBelin and Ben in Vok. I should probably log this as 3hrs paddling and 30mins swimming (with bluebottles, and sharks according to Matt). The boat is more stable than Mounty's Mark2, but Prong and i were fighting to balance the boat most of the time. Finally improved after 2hrs and started to get moving and catch a few runers. Around Barrenjoey and back up Pittwater. Ben swapped into my boat and we didn't have any problems on the flatter water. | ||
