8 AM
Orienteering 19:29 [3] 3.95 km (4:56 / km) +13m 4:51 / km
shoes: Puma Faas 300 green/black
Sprint the SW Cowaramup.
Didn't really do any warm up and didn't feel at all like sprinting on the way to the first control so I just cruised around at a comfortable pace. Wasn't sure if you were allowed to go through the green so was looking at left/right options to go around it on 11. Eventually decided it was ok to go through but was only considering left/right at that stage and forgot to even look at the straight option so just cut through a little to go around to the right.

Orienteering 21:58 [3] 3.28 km (6:42 / km) +3m 6:40 / km
shoes: Puma Faas 300 green/black
Sprint the SW Amazen Margaret River.
Felt more motivated this time so did a bit more warm up but it didn't really help. Don't think my route on 1-2 was great but I got all the early controls ok. Almost caught Juffy by 5 but didn't see him after that (probably because he decided to do the maze early). Enjoyed the garden section from 6-10 and then it was into the maze.
I found the maze a little too hard for my liking. The required routes were a bit too long so I always wondered if there was a better option and I had trouble remembering the planned route and keeping track of where I was up to at the same time. Lots of near collisions with other runners also made it much harder to maintain contact. Didn't ever get lost but didn't feel I was doing it very efficiently either.
Still good fun but I really preferred the gardens to the maze. Impressive run from Bruce.
