Orienteering 1:28:28 [3] 9.9 km (8:56 / km)
Long on Mt Ainslie - very tiring, esp in the heat. Busted a gut trying to keep up with the front pack on the very long first leg, then had little left, especially on the hills. Lost sight of Tash, Amber, Sarah etc going out of hill from 3, got caught by Shannon on 4 and happy to lead her for a few controls, recaught sight of some runners but then lost a bit of a time trying to take a track down from Mt Ainslie that was rougher than the forest and changing course back tot he spur. Then lost contention those runners completely when they were on the different butterfly loop and I missed the first control of mine by arounda minute - stopped just short of the control and backtracking thinking I must have gone far enough. Suse caught me here and I tucked in behind her and more or less hung on for the rest of the course.
