Orienteering race 1:24:26 [5] 10.2 km (8:17 / km)
NOL and WOC trial long at Boboyan divide.
My main plan for this race was to do everything completely differently to the middle. Start calmly, run within myself and always know exactly where I was going. I also made sure I avoided the green and the rough stuff as much as possible as I knew I wasn't strong enough to really push through it.
The race went completely to plan, and although I never felt fast I had a really smooth race and didn't make any errors. Was surprised to see Aislinn come running past on the way into the second last control, having started 2mins in front and not seeing her the whole way round.
Running was ok, although going much faster wasn't an option. Su Yan's ankle fixing trick before the start worked really well and made it at least 1/3 of the way around before it started to tighten up and affect my stride.

Orienteering race 20:55 [5] 3.0 km (6:58 / km)
NOL and WOC trial sprint at CSIRO black mountain.
Had a strange start to the day. Felt rushed and disorganised and didn't feel like I'd warmed up properly. Started ok - nice long easy leg... although I luckily realised that the last bit into the control was going to be much trickier than the map had indicated and slowed right down. The next two controls were totally random. nothing on the map, but very thick and heaps of detail on the ground. got through these ok and caught up to Heather and Mary here. Gradually reeled them in over the next few easy controls in the open building/park area.
Also caught Grace at 7?, but she got away again quite quickly. From there the navigation got more and more intense. I didn't see Heather again but Mary stuck on. I had a few small errors in this part of the course, but nothing major (read the overpass as an uncrossable wall etc), and generally happy that I kept the navigation smooth. Happy enough with how I ran on very limited training.
Great course, although a little long.

Orienteering race 1:02:20 [5] 5.4 km (11:33 / km)
NOL and WOC trial middle at Orroral. Complete disaster.
I decided that this could be a good race for me and that I should really try and attack it. That worked well on #1, but then I overshot 2 and got a bit flustered. Had a bit of an extra run-around checking rocks on 3, way off on compass for 4, crunched my ankle badly on 5... etc. kept compounding until I completely lost the plot on 10 and took ages to relocate. Al and then Lizzie caught me here and I ran with them for a couple of controls. good reminder to slow down instead of rushing, and orienteer properly.
they got away after it started going uphill and I ran out of go after starting too hard and getting too pissed off with myself. Staggered into the finish. very annoyed.

Running intervals 30:00 [3]
token interval session at UQ with Mark and James. really just wanted to get the legs moving without stressing things out too much. Did a warm up with the guys, then 3*500m on my own. focussed on good leg speed and feeling nice and floaty as I was running. good stretch afterwards.
