Run ((orienteering)) 22:47 [3] *** 3.3 km (6:54 / km) +20m 6:42 / km
spiked:21/22c
Easter sprint relay. My time was flattered a bit by Jim's generosity as my previous runner (he walked down the chute after tagging so my time didn't start until I was halfway to the first control, giving me a undeserved fastest split), but still a run I was happy with. Felt as if I was moving reasonably well by my standards of the last few months, and only technical issue was a slightly poorly executed exit from 1. The team was Abi George, Jim, myself and Jenny; we ended up much as expected. Even once you account for the timing quirk, I think I was still within 50% of Simon, a recent benchmark.
On the way to the last control I had to negotiate Hillsong people doing whatever Hillsong people do on Good Friday. As far as I know nobody said that I was going to go to Hell for running on such a day.
Resurrected for the Family Relays were some genuinely retro fabric numbers (sufficiently old that they bore the logo of Bunnings from an era before anyone from outside WA had ever heard of them).
Today didn't count for anything substantial, but gives me some confidence going into the weekend. Bruce and Jon will be hard to match for the top two, but at least I might be competitive with the likes of Tooms and Matthew Stocks for third if things go well.
