O Race race (Sprint) 25:20 [5] 3.2 km (7:55 / km)
max:184 slept:7.0 shoes: Asics Nimbus 12
Frustrating SA Sprint race. Finished 3rd. Head wasn't there. I never adapted to the terrain, which felt more like Middle than sprint. Made too many mistakes all round the course as I constantly tried to go faster than the terrain dictated, with the result that I made too many mistakes.
3 PM
O Race race (Middle) 41:09 [5] 4.8 km (8:34 / km)
max:184 shoes: Inov8 Roclite 285
GOC Middle - 2nd place. Another bad start as I screwed up #1. Same problem as last year in that I tried the high-risk, straight route on the first leg. Lost 3:30 on that leg. Alex caught me at #2 then we proceded to have a tussle over the remainder of the course. If one of us pulled ahead it would invariably be followed by a mistake that allowed the other to catch up.
It was orienteering at a pace that was uncomfortable. The biggest mistake was at #14 (i'm not convinced this was in the right place), but that wasn't enough to affect the result.

O Race race (O Sprint) 22:55 [4] 3.7 km (6:12 / km)
slept:8.0 (sick) shoes: Asics Nimbus 12
Picked up a bit of a cold / sinus thing on Thursday, so went out at a comfortable pace. I lost 40sec at 5-6 by not having read ahead. Had to backtrack after realising I was going into a dead-end. Otherwise a clean run.

Went round with the boys on the novice course after my run.
