Orienteering Waverly Park. Much to the kids' delight I offered to pay them $1 for every split they beat me on if they did the same course I did. As expected they immediately stopped fretting about the length of the medium course and signed up for it. Consequently I ran the course like someone with $26 to lose - (i.e. 13 legs x 2). As it happened it had some tricky bits through bush with poor visiibity in sections - I took those legs really carefully and it paid off - I took 38 mins and the kids rolled in 20 minutes later having made a few mistakes. In the end I only ended up having to pay Jett $2 (one for a leg up a hill which he beat me and the 40 other people on the course, and one for the 2nd last). And Zali who got close a few times but ultimately didn't get me until the finish sprint. Lovely afternoon in hobart today.

very slow slog along pipeline track. had plans to run further but turns out my legs are still a bit wearly from the weekend.

Final race of what's been an awesome weekend! Handicap start, first across line wins. Jon started about two and a half minutes after me, and overtook me at as I reached out to punch the finish control! So that was pretty good handicapping between us at least!

Such a fun weekend !

Night Race - 20 minute score event. Jon had the Ay-Ups and unfortunately I couldn't read the map AND see the terrain with my kathmandu light so had a bit of a frustrating time on what was a superfun night area (mostly a golf course). Zali and Jett thrashed my pants!

Launceston Church Grammar School - getting quite weary now - probably lost 40 secs all up but certianly running out of legs !

Tas Uni - super fun race again - lost about 45 seconds on one control and was probably 20 secs near the start being a moron but aside from that it was ok.
