State league event on Porcupine Ridge map - great area, steep hills, complex spur gully... Should have had a great run....Well, made an error at the first control, but made up for it with the speed I ran from that to the second... well almost to the second control. I missed it by about 30m and spent 28 mins looking for it and my confidence in my ability to navigate dropped to rock bottom. In the end I asked Peter Forbes where he thought we were, and it wasn't far from the control I'd been looking for...Well, I recovered for the last half of the run. Think that I should start orienteering events by walking, just so I can get used to the map first, before I run....

C • 2nd control 1

Orienteering today on the Mandurang map, with a course that used good route choice legs, planned for parallel errors and kept us running across the same ground from different angles. I did very poorly with my ill disciplined concentration and made significant errors in 5 of the 11 legs. Thoroughly enjoyed it; ran all the way, ran an extra km (at least) and came last in my course.

walked approx. 8km at a very brisk place today. I know its not training, but I want to register this anyway.

C • yes, it's training 2
