Finally got to orienteer at Jackal Creek for the first time.
Nice strong start until a loop 7-11 where I lost a bit of pace and focus trying to refold the map. Longish leg 13-14 saw me take a tiger line through green. Missed the indiatinct track and had to bundu bash. Maybe should have gone round and gained 15s or so. Still lacking focus after the bundu and was slow to 15 and 16, loosing a bit more time.
Second half started improving again, but lacked a bit of speed. Bit of a compass error out of 22. Then okay to the finish. Probably lost 45s in total but still happy. 2 mins down on Brad and about 20s ahead of Alex. Had a bigger lead on him at half way but he closed it down well.
