Really good sprint at newcastle university - but I wasn't exactly sprinting. No major mistakes, but missed quite a few route choices including not seeing the highlighted tunnel on the map and running past 5 (admittedly in a dark passageway).

Running race 42:43 [5] 8.03 km (5:19 / km) +76m 5:05 / km
shoes: Oroc 340
The middle was on a old coal mining area - the program suggested that this was going to be pretty bogan and we could fully expect to be run down by hoons or find the controls on fire. I started at the same time as lizzie - so got to see her heading off to 2 before I stumbled across 1. From here I started to think a bit more and got into the map. Matt parton caught me around 5, he was moving fast, so I hung on for a few controls until he slowed a bit then started to orienteer again. We had an encounter with a bunch of trail bikes crossing a big track, but that was the only bogan activity of the day. Had a bit of a lead at 14 then took a straight choce to 16 and we were back together. Mid-field, which was good for a middle, but a harder run than I'd expected. Quite enjoyed this map, which was different to anything I've run on before.
