Orienteering race 17:59 [5] *** 3.11 km (5:47 / km) +20m 5:36 / km
ahr:139 max:181 shoes: Brooks Adrenaline GTS-15
Xmas 5 Days - Day 1 - Chevalier College
Opening day for the Xmas 5 days orienteering carnival. It was one year since I last ran a sprint event at the Xmas 5 days in Newcastle. I played the race conservatively, carefully following the map to stay oriented and checking each control number. Whilst this slowed me down, numerous orienteers mis-punched and had no result. I had two errors, one at control 6 where I went to the visible but wrong control on the corner of the fence line and control 11 which I over ran and had to backtrack. Additional losses were made when I failed to realise the stairs to get to the lower level between controls 11 and 12 and between controls 19 and 20. After the even I re-ran some of the legs using the stairs and it saved considerable time. I am hoping to get more confident with the sprint maps and not have to check each control number and also to be quicker to keep momentum at the map change (flip) which created further loses. Overall a fun and fast course!

Bennelong Northside Xmas Party *Fun* Orienteering Course
A run held from the xmas party at Manly Dam into the surrounding bushland opposite the picnic area. Some people walked the course due to the heat. I managed to finish in second place behind Clyde McGee. The only notable losses made were at control 7 on the rock slabs but otherwise had a nice clean run.
