Event: Xmas 5 Days - #3 (Pyrmont)
6 PM
Orienteering race (Xmas 5-Days - Day 3) 41:09 [5] *** 9.01 km (4:34 / km) +95m 4:20 / km
spiked:28/30c shoes: Asics Kayano 19 (2)
Felt tired from early on so worked hard throughout the course. Started through 9-6-27-24-14-5 then probably not the best route to 29 then 3-12-26-13-1 and out into the streets 30-19-10-4-2-20 and stuffed around looking for the marked underpass which didn't seem to exist to 22 and the long flat sections around the wharves through 25-18-28-8-16-21-17-23-15-11-7. Finished 3rd behind SteveR-40.03 and Henrik-40.16 and just ahead of Macey-41.23 who stuffed no.7 and Ondrej-41.30.

27c shoes: Asics Kayano 19 (2)
Not the best run. So many little errors and then lost 40 secs on the long leg no.23. Couldn't figure out how to get down and didn't really have a plan when I started the leg. Finished well down in 17th. Great area and course though.

Orienteering race (Xmas 5-Days - Day 1) 24:00 [5] *** 5.46 km (4:24 / km) +57m 4:11 / km
spiked:25/27c shoes: Asics Kayano 19 (2)
Pretty good run. Lost only maybe 30 secs. A few secs figuring out how to get from 4-5 around the fort and then stuffed 13 by going through the bush towards 18 as the lines on the map crossed. Finished 1.30 behind Shep, 1 min behind Lachy Dow and a few secs behind a bunch of Euros for 6th. Happy with the result.

Event: Big Foot Sprints XVII
4 PM
Orienteering race (BigFoot Sprints #1) 11:08 [5] *** 2.33 km (4:47 / km) +29m 4:30 / km
spiked:12/14c shoes: Asics Kayano 19 (2)
Race 1 at St.Ive's Showground. Felt a bit sluggish at the start and a little hesitant going down to no.4. Lost 15 secs exiting in the wrong direction to no.6 then got caught by Swede Raffael Huber at no.7. He got away pretty quick but noticed he punched the wrong no.12 in the distance. I also lost 15 secs there. Finished 30 secs behind the other Swede Christian Tingström, 6 secs behind Josh B and 5 secs ahead of Macey.
5 PM
Orienteering race (BigFoot Sprints #2) 11:45 [5] *** 2.62 km (4:29 / km) +41m 4:10 / km
spiked:12/16c shoes: Asics Kayano 19 (2)
Started 6 secs behind Josh and 5 secs ahead of Macey. The 1st control was pretty quick as expected, Macey passed me before the 1st. I just tried to stick on to the others through the first 4 more technical controls. Once we got out into the open felt more comfortable. Looks like we made the wrong route choice to no.7 looking at the splits. Tried to put a spurt on to no.10 as I didn't think I'd be able to match the others in a sprint, but Macey passed me going to no.11 and all of us pretty much stayed in that order a couple seconds apart till the finish. The position of the last control in the bush didn't really allow for a sprint finish. Great fun!
