Orienteering race (NZ Champs Relay) 1:02:29 [4] 4.8 km (13:01 / km) +300m 9:55 / km
shoes: Inov-8 Flyroc 310 (grey)

Leg 1 for PAPO. Good times! First few were all okay but then got rather confused on #9. Then it was into the dark castle which was also okay...until I was trying to get out to #14 and got hopelessly confused (like everyone else around me at the time). Claire eventually worked it out and Tessa and I scrambled up after her while the boys didn't believe us and jumped into the out of bounds area (they really had no idea). All went okay after that (apart from major exhaustion) until #24. After helping a crying leg 2 runner (she couldn't find her first control...she was no where near it) I overran the control big time and got myself super confused...for several minutes. Was so relieved to finish but really glad to have switched to the first leg. So much fun! Pretty much collapsed on finishing though...
3-1 to me at the end of the weekend. Not that I'm counting or anything :-P

Event: NZ Orienteering Championships

Run warm up/down 10:00 [2]

Gossiping with Emily.

Orienteering race (NZ Champs Sprint) 23:54 [4] 2.4 km (9:57 / km)
shoes: Mizuno Wave Ascend 6

Typical Chris type sprint. Completely confused for the first 3 controls then got stuck in the paintball area when I was trying to get out. Got tired (mentally and physically) and slowed right down in the second half. Managed to come within less than 5 metres of the spectator control but ran round the other side of the building to the back of the fence instead. Bet Emily by 10 minutes though so that's 1 to me so far!

Up our street and to the top of the connecting track then back down again after the run.

Run 37:41 [2]

Up Latters Spur then down the Harry Ell. Still tired. Need sleep. Lots of it. The parents arrive tomorrow and the house is chaos so probably not the early night I dream of.
