Orienteering 15:29 [3] 2.8 km (5:32 / km)
MSW - Royal Park
Unnecessarily asked for first start as the afternoon's course setter, not realising how narrow the start window would be anyway. Meant I got caught by a wrong code control, so I'm taking the 1.36 off my time between when my splits show I punched it the first and second times. Really fun area/course and happy with my run. Legs felt a bit weary, but they did ok. Navigated well too, so happy to finish the weekend with a good run :)

Orienteering 16:40 [3] 3.1 km (5:23 / km)
MSW sprint relay, Yarra Valley Grammar, 4th leg for VIC2
Felt happier about this run (and even happier with a 3rd place :) ). Felt more in control. There were still a few bobbles, but was reading things better (it being a less complex area helped...). Managed to punch 19, which was in the same location as a control I mp'ed on last outing there, so that's a definite improvement. Hammered the last few running legs as I thought Krystal was catching me (she was, but had more ground to make up than I realised). Good fun.

Orienteering 15:03 [3] 3.05 km (4:56 / km)
MSW - Kurunjang Schools
After the morning's good run, this was a comedy of errors (I was literally laughing at myself by the time Lanita caught me heading to 4). My goal for the race was to read ahead, which I did most successfully, navigating straight from 1 to 12. Then got lured into a dead end on 3-4. Pulled it together after that and improved though :)
My right leg has been gradually stiffening up over the races and continues to do so.

Event: Melbourne Sprint Weekend
Orienteering 16:10 [3] 3.15 km (5:08 / km)
MSW Monash Clayton
Felt fairly overwhelmed during the race and never quite got my head into gear. Could never read/plan ahead, hesitated lots and occasionally ran past a few routes I had planned to take. Looking back though, I didn't do too badly picking route choices.

Orienteering 19:22 [3] 3.1 km (6:15 / km)
MSW Caufield Grammar.
Hot. Again, felt like there were lots of hesitations (and Mikkel got some thoroughly exciting footage of me standing still in the really complex playground area).
Caught sight of Rachel Allen on the way into the primary school, and finally got past her on the way to 15, only to misread 17 and get behind again. Got caught by the gate on 12-13 (as others did).
Had a few ok splits in the last few controls, which makes me happy about my running :)

Running 45:00 [3]
Kathmandu run club.
Some of the treacle Jayne was running through on Tuesday must have still been out there, because I was definitely caught in it. Legs felt very slow and heavy. Hadn't planned to do a session anyway, so just cruised around the loop while the others did efforts up the hills. Coach Maj had had way too much red cordial and was very enthusiastic.
