orienteering race (WMOC long final) 1:33:30 [4] ***** 6.78 km (13:47 / km)
shoes: Innov8 bright
Long distance final race in sand dunes. Varied terrain, and I was pleased with most of my legs, but took 23mins in one leg and 25 mins in another. It didn't matter, I was in the non competitive classification.

run 1:04:11 [3] 11.15 km (5:45 / km)

Went for a jog along the Auckland foreshore, from Viaduct Harbour to a jetty about 6km around. Lovely day for a look at Auckland...

orienteering (2nd qualifying race) 54:00 [4] ***** 3.5 km (15:26 / km)
shoes: Innov8 bright
Totally mucked this race, and lost my opportunity for an official final run. Discovered after a few minutes and several visits to a control marked on my map but which had the wrong number on the clue description, that I had the wrong map in my hand. Didn't know I could return to the start and get a new map. Attempted to find my way around the W50 course , but it was really hard and the contours difficult to read. Gave up and walked back disappointed. Had my sook and got over it.

shoes: Innov8 bright
Made a 10 min error on one short leg, was messy on my navigation on several legs. Lovely forest though... 29th place.

Walked around the model event with Neil, learning how to read this map and get around in the forested sand dunes

orienteering race (WMOCsprint final) 17:56 [4] *** 2.51 km (7:09 / km)
shoes: Asic3000
Ran in the A final in the 55 age class today. This used the city campus for Auckland uni. Not as complex courses today as in the qualification race. Lost time on a couple of legs. Again, difficult to read the tiny representation of stairs with perfect scale mapping... my result today? 28th (just in the top half of the field - 5 mins behind the speedy women)

orienteering race (WMOC sprint qualification) 21:46 [4] **** 2.67 km (8:09 / km)
shoes: Asic3000
The qualification race for the sprint. This was fun; there were many route choice legs around the Epsom campus of the university and lots of challenge. Narrow passages and steps were at times too small to read on the map though... I came 19th, and got into the A final for tomorrow.
