Event: Sydney MetrO League 4 - Darkes Common

10 AM

Orienteering race (Metro League #4) 35:25 [5] *** 5.99 km (5:55 / km) +138m 5:18 / km
spiked:18/23c shoes: Innov-8 X-Talon 212

Started a minute ahead of Shep and he caught me at #2. Managed to stick to his tail the whole way. Probably lost 2 minutes all up including at least 30 secs each on the last 2 controls.

Event: Garingal Ultra Sprint - Leichhardt

2 PM

Orienteering race (Ultrasprint A) 6:36 [5] *** 1.18 km (5:36 / km) +3m 5:31 / km
spiked:22/24c shoes: Innov-8 X-Talon 212

This was so much harder than I was anticipating. Much harder than the previous 2 ultrasprints I had done. First course sent us straight into so many trees which was very difficult. Running went pretty good overall but MP two controls (#4 and #24) for a 2 min penalty.

Orienteering race (Ultrasprint B) 6:26 [5] *** 1.14 km (5:39 / km) +1m 5:37 / km
spiked:24/25c shoes: Innov-8 X-Talon 212

Another good run except I punched the wrong #7 and realised pretty quickly and punched the correct one (30 sec penalty).

Orienteering race (Ultrasprint C) 7:12 [5] *** 1.36 km (5:18 / km) +3m 5:14 / km
spiked:22/25c shoes: Innov-8 X-Talon 212

Worst of the 3 runs, although I didn't take any penalties. So in a way, the best of the 3. For some reason started hesitating on a few controls on this course and was well wide on route choice to #11.

Overall finished 2nd to Toby Wilson, 1.01 down.

spiked:13/18c shoes: Innov-8 X-Talon 212

Coffs Harbour

Good run in parts but again let down with too many errors. So disappointed how many mistakes I've made this weekend, a total of 19 controls missed! Oh well should only get better.

Lost time on:
#2 - route choice could have been better (15 secs)
#9 - missed the best route & ended up wide on the route I chose (30 secs)
#12 - went over hill, going right was better (20 secs)
#15 - got confused in the detail, could have attacked in better (20 secs)
#17 - didn't read ahead here and got caught out, wasn't ideal (15 secs)
#18 - terrible route choice winding through the stairs (15 secs)

spiked:15/19c shoes: Innov-8 X-Talon 212

Oppy's Gully - Bom Bom State Forest

Was feeling slow today and even still made quite a few errors. Got caught 12 min by Bert en-route to #14 and from there my pace picked up, even winning a few splits at the back end. Again finished well down

Lost time on:
#5 - overran the depression (2 min)
#8 - drifting off my route way too far right (2 min)
#9 - ended up too far left then going further left when I wasn't sure (2 min)
#10 - bad route choice taking track (2 min)

Boambee Beach

Not a great start to QBIII for me. Great fun sand dune terrain but was all over the place with so many mistakes. Really needed to slow down. Finished well down.

Lost time on:
#3 - too far right (1 min)
#4 - overran in the light green (2 min)
#7 - bad route choice (30 secs)
#8 - too short (20 secs)
#11 - drifting too far right (20 secs)
