Orienteering race 49:37 [4] *** 8.79 km (5:39 / km) +310m 4:48 / km
shoes: Brooks Cascadia Pivot
Australian Relays. Didn't have a full team and didn't see anyone else on the course so not motivated to push really hard but felt easily the best I have all week. A few little wobbles on the first couple of controls before settling down. Actually enjoyed running up the hills today and felt strong at the end. Would have been nice to be in a competitive race today rather than another solo cruise.

Orienteering race 1:34:58 [4] **** 15.16 km (6:16 / km) +570m 5:16 / km
spiked:28/28c shoes: Brooks Cascadia Pivot
Australian Champs. Another clean conservative enjoyable run. Didn't see anyone else on the course except a few juniors when we had common controls. Took a few conservative route choices and ran within myself rather than trying to push it really hard. I know I haven't done the training to race hard all the way so why bother trying. Still felt a bit tired after the spectator control and it was a bit more of a struggle to maintain map contact after this but I managed ok. Happy with the run and satisfied with the result (8th).
Running 10:00 [2] 1.5 km (6:40 / km)
shoes: Brooks Cascadia Pivot
Run to start, back to finish to discard jumper, back to start and a bit of jogging in small circles to stay warm.

Orienteering race 29:45 [5] *** 5.11 km (5:49 / km) +160m 5:02 / km
spiked:20/21c shoes: Brooks Cascadia Pivot
Western Plains Challenge 2 on JWOC middle final map. Tried to run harder today and felt a lot better than Tuesday. Pretty clean into all the controls but didn't always feel as controlled in the middle of the leg as last few runs. Got a little put off by first control being on the wrong side of the feature. First half of the course was nice but the second half seemed very crowded. Still thought it was a much better run overall than Tuesday but finished 4 places lower and further behind the winner in a shorter race.
Running warm up/down 9:36 [3] 1.94 km (4:57 / km)
Run to start plus a bit extra to keep warm.

Orienteering 1:03:13 [3] **** 9.44 km (6:42 / km) +480m 5:20 / km
spiked:21/21c shoes: Brooks Cascadia Pivot
Western Plains Challenge 1 on JWOC long map. Felt really bad physically but navigated ok. Didn't really enjoy most of the run just because I felt so tired. Really surprised to end up second, thought I would be way down the list today.
Running warm up/down 6:00 [2] 1.0 km (6:00 / km)
shoes: Brooks Cascadia Pivot
Run to start.

Went to the zoo in the morning and then tried to watch a bit of the JWOC long race but got there too late to really see anything.
