 | Run 1:00:00 [2] | |
| |
| Run with Åsa from my new home in Leksand, through the forest with a map in hand. Some good relocation practise to begin with! Ran back via the club house which is about 5minutes from the house. Wasn't feeling too bad considering the long flight (LA never again!). Hardly any snow left about, just in the forest and on some of the trails. Though it was pretty slushy and a lovely 5 degrees!. |

Sunday Mar 23 |
| Orienteering (National Long) 1:54:00 [4] | |
| |
| Lost so much time early on, just couldn't get this map, I knew I was in the right area but pissed around in unmapped re-entrants. Then gave up and cruised. I feel bad about giving up it was a stupid thing to do. |
Saturday Mar 22 |
| Orienteering race (National Middle) 38:59 [5] | |
| |
| Stuff up on 1-ran before I had a plan, so by the time I did, the feature I was looking for had passed and I picked up a similar one later on. Then lost a lot of time by dumb indescion in my routes

| Event: New Zealand National Championships
|
| Orienteering race (National Sprint) 22:00 [5] | |
| |
| Lots of learning in this race. Bad route choices at the beginning but still managed to catch up on Rachel and Tineke, was in third just before 14 (yea, wasn't prepared for that!). Then got too excited and had major brain explosion. Had no plan going into 14, and had nothing to fall back on when I realised I was lost. Small chat to Neil afterwards helped a lot. |

Sunday Mar 9 |
| Orienteering race 57:00 [4] | |
| |
| Ok this time. I just stuffed 6 completely, maybe a weird bit of the map. Then another big mistake on 10. All up a lot of time lost on 2 controls, the rest I was happy with. So pretty frustrated with what could have been an awesome run. |
