 | Orienteering race (Waihora, Taupo) 1:03:00 [4] 7.7 km (8:11 / km) | |

| Really cool terrain, close to the best I have orienteered on. Tough course, always up and down, it was hard to get any sort of rhythm. Just sat at a comfortable pace and enjoyed it. Quite buggered at the end after three races in 24hrs. |

| Orienteering race (Airport, Taupo) 38:17 [4] 5.1 km (7:30 / km) | |
| shoes: New Balance 781 |
| First ever O in NZ. Two biggish errors put paid to what would have been a good run, the rest of the course I did quite cleanly. Wrong way out of #3 meant 2 mins of blackberries to get back on course and 5 mins at #15 in the wrong gully. Complex fun area so I wasnt too worried. Ran pretty hard, quite hot conditions. |

| Katoa Po relays. Did the second leg of the 3 person relay, started running at about 11pm. Really fun, but plenty of small and big mistakes, about 7 mins on #10 was the worst. |
