Orienteering 1:23:39 [3] 9.9 km (8:27 / km)
Aus Long Champs, Tambaroora.
Felt good!! Got lucky on 1 - wasn't really sure what I was looking at but came across the control. Happy with my route choices on the long legs although lost about a min in the circle at 5. Saw Marina heading into 4 as I was leaving, and would have got to 5 ahead if I hadn't mucked up at the end (she took the other route choice). Lost a bit of time on 8 in the detail, and started looking too early for 10 and 18. Saw Marina on and off for a while (although not in the 2nd loop) and finished just behind her. Won the finish split!!
Happy with my physical performance - just felt good on the day and enjoyed pushing, same as for Wagga long. Not sure why or how to replicate...

Running 40:00 [3]
Took myself on an outing to the Blue Mountains.
Headed from Katoomba to Leura, via the Three Sisters, Giant Stairway, Dardanelles track, Bridal Veil Falls and Gordon Falls. Having a map that actually had tracks on it would have helped.
Ran a bit at the start and then gave up when I got tired and just walked.
Very speccy - would like to go back and explore some more!

Orienteering 42:10 [3] 5.5 km (7:40 / km)
Schools long race (senior girls).
2nd place in senior girls - I've still got it and am as good as I was 12 years ago.*
Pushed fairly hard and seemed to be getting through the junk on the ground well enough. Should have started navigating from the start - was a bit off close to 1, and then left it in a weird direction that seemed right at the time. Also got lucky on 5 - popping over the hill to see it when I though I had further to go. Got lucky on the last control too.
* May not be a direct comparison.

Orienteering 42:59 [3] 3.9 km (11:01 / km)
Aus Middle Champs, Dhuwugarra.
17th. Bit of a scrappy run. Wasn't with it leaving the start triangle and just ran aimlessly hoping to hit 1. Lost time at the end on the tunnel control (despite reading the description and starting to go up the tunnel, I thought 'this can't be right') and the 2nd last. Bit more map reading, bit less running off in what seems like the general direction would be good.
