Orienteering race 49:03 [5] *** 4.8 km (10:13 / km) +85m 9:23 / km
spiked:10/12c shoes: Inov-8 X-Talons 212
Big 5: Day 2 - Dullstroom.
Didn't have a great outing. Had very heavy legs so wasn't moving well and the heat didn't help. Navigation went okay, but concentration was poor. Lost ~30sec on #6 - root stock in green. Had a poor attackpoint and then found a few unmapped root stocks. Zig had just caught me so that didn't help. Managed to punch it without her seeing and re-opened the 3min gap. Finished near the bottom of the field. Steph had a good run to keep the SA flag flying:-)

Big 5: Day 1 - Middeldam, Planner
Put out the last few controls and set up the start, finish etc. Apart from a few hidden controls in pits, everything went well. The weather was crazy though - heavy rain, hail, thunder and lightening.
Lots of standing and running around in the wet so my feet weren't happy by the end of the day.

Running 24:58 [2] 3.65 km (6:50 / km)
shoes: Adidas SNova Glide
Very chilled run.
Have some big blisters from the 10km. Rather sore! Perfect timing for a week of racing. Hopefully they'll heal quickly. Not sure what caused them. Have done over 200km in my road shoes with no problems.

Running race 57:50 [5] 10.0 km (5:47 / km)
slept:8.0 shoes: Adidas SNova Glide
Ventured South to the Vanderbijl 10km - a flat, double lapper. The quietest road race I've ever been to! Also a small AR club turnout this year: Lisa, Fred and Tommy.
Fred ran with me the whole way. I pushed too hard in the first 4km so was really suffering in the last 2km.
I definitely prefer a route with a few hills. Lots of work to do to get my time closer to 50 min in 2012.
