Orienteering race (Aust Schools Individual) 54:59 [5] 5.8 km (9:29 / km) +230m 7:55 / km
18c shoes: Inov-8 X-Talon 212 #3
Good run, a really nice and complex map.
So glad I went in the 2nd block as later would've waay to hot to run well I think. Cautious to #1 and good though I ended up slightly lower but could see the flag so all good. A dodgy bearing up the hill to #2 led me to the parallelish track which I hadn't seen on the map, but I did notice that my compass wasn't lining up so I went back to the main track and got it from there. Going to #3, I was possibly a bit over cautious and strayed a bit too far from the line, but because I knew where I was I figure I didn't lose any time. A little too high caused me to go slightly too far on #4 but I fixed that when I noticed the buildings at the top of the hill. I maybe should've pushed a bit more on the track to #6, but it was already so hot and I still had so long to go. I remember i was having a great time out there at this point though! For #8, I went straight up to the better running at the top of the hill on the ridge and was running behind a kangaroo for a little bit before i went up to get above the cliff/boulders. I came in a little too far to the right of the feature but quickly realised and was all good. A slightly off bearing in and out of #9 but was ok.
Really happy with finally a good run on the schools individual day!!!
Winner woo!!!!
