Orienteering race (Xmas 5 Days) 52:10 [4] ***
slept:6.5 (sick) shoes: Jalas Olway
Day 3
Southams Road (1:10,000)
11th of 22
Woke up this morning feeling not too crash hot. Was a little dizzy but got ready and got going anyway. Managed to spew my guts on the side of the road on the way to the event. Fun and tasty. Felt awful after that in the leadup to the race. Despite this, managed to have the best bush run of the series. Only a few errors here and there, nothing major for once. Very tough on the last few controls as I was feeling absolutely shithouse. Managed to get 1 second behind Olly somehow. Downed some water after the event and lost my guts again. Yay.

Day 1
The Quarry (1:10,000)
13th of 25 (27)
1st bush event in a while. Took ages to get back "in" to orienteering, with quite a few scrappy controls. Worst ones were 3, 16 and 23 (from memory). Had fun in the wet weather though. First run in ages too. Was feeling ok considering how bad my knee has been recently.

Note
Arrived in Newcastle after having a good Christams that was spent with three diferent families! Drove on Boxing Day with Simon & Olly to Nambucca Heads and had stayed at a motel. Went the next day to the first event for 5 days. It was awesome to be able to cruise down the highway with me mates without too much time pressure and pulling in to any town or beach we liked for a swim and gander!
