Run race ((orienteering)) 1:08:18 [4] *** 5.6 km (12:12 / km) +450m 8:42 / km
spiked:17/19c
A rather extreme course at Mount Beckworth with over 8% climb - the most, I think, that I've ever had on a course in Australia (although not too different to Spain a few weeks ago).
The good news here is that I got through without any injury problems (although I suspect my quads will tell me that I've done something hard when I get up tomorrow). I couldn't run up many of the hills but I suspect I wasn't alone there, and was a bit further up the results than I sometimes am these days (although still 20 minutes behind Kerrin/Pat/Aston). No real mistakes, just 10 seconds or so wide on a couple, and two wider route choices (the walking track around the end of the spur on 7, and through the saddle on 14) both seemed to pay off. 16 and 17 were pretty hairy (16 would have been dangerous in the wet), and the course probably would have been better without them, too.
My biggest mistake of the day was on the way there - dropped about 10 minutes because we came in one road parallel to the one we wanted, and then compounded it when we turned around when the cross road turned into a small track, which Google said went through and Apple said didn't (Google was right).
