Real Orienteering race (Rotonui) 44:00 [3] 4.2 km (10:29 / km) +111m 9:15 / km
shoes: Blue innov-8
Birthday. Mass start race in technical farmland, an unfamiliar experience. Very warm with no water on course which was probably to my advantage. Held onto Geoff and Ted for two controls and then had to navigate. First top 10 of carnival... actually eight. Suggests my strength is fitness rather than navigation. Bad news as i know i am not fit.

Was expecting a simple spyr gully farmland day but instead ran a physically tough course criss crossing the main gorge. Finished 14th due to bad route choices based on terrain ignorance. Good educatiinal eexperience.

Mt Taranaki. The ascent was tough and we didnt climb the final twenty metres from the crater due to the gale force winds. The descent was epic with people being blown over by the wind. Grit and snow driven in eddies just added to the experience. More exciting than thw world cup. Both glad to get down.
