A bit of an epic race! Really tough physical terrain and not that easy nav either (especially with the map being the way it was). A pretty messy run but was happy with the way I navigated mostly especially when I was able to stop myself making massive mistakes and relocate confidently. I think I should have run a bit more aggressivly today and with more ambition though as I just let some good girls go past me even though I was feeling fit enough to stick with them.

All in all a good tough weekend of racing. Nice to run on some real technical terrain.

Event: Aus team WOC trials
 

Got absolutely dealt to by this course. A very harsh reintroduction to orienteering in Australia! Got very distracted and pshyched out by another runner in the beginning and made some of the biggest mistakes ive made in years as a result! Should not have let this get to me so much.

Sprint. Had a few issues in the beginning having not done any fast orineteering in awhile but got into well for the 2nd half. Lost around 40sec I think but mostly from route choices.

A bizarre little run around Dullwich Hill from the hostel.
Note to NZ orienteering: This is no longer the place to stay in Sydney...
