Real Orienteering race (Axedale Golf Course) 43:00 [2] 6.25 km (6:53 / km)
shoes: Asics Kayano 20 + insert
Club Xmas event. The Geoff Hudson multiplier format. I wasn't intending to compete, just go for a short jog around a fairway or two (Axedale Golf Course). But Julie produced a spare compass and SI stick, and Jim entered me. They were handed over and it was hard to say no. I realised I didn't have it in the legs, but my brain still worked. So I got the control order pretty close to spot on. My GPS distance was less than the course setters optimal distance straight line. Somehow I cam second, despite there being many faster runners out there. More importantly, ran six kilometres, one longer than my long run last week. The wonderful soft surface on the fairways really helped.
