Event: Western Australian Long Distance Orienteering Champs
 

Ran 7.7km on the GPS which is too much extra. Messed up #5 going too far south and ended up near the old dams and then had an easy run along the track to the control. had to relocate off the fence cnr for #7 and lost a couple of minutes. Had trouble at 10 as was too high and had to relocate and drop down on the control when I planned to attack from below. More time lost at 13 as could not read it as a hilltop and was obscured by the large rocks, final brain fade at the last control where I dropped low and had to reclimb the hill to the control. Ended up equal 3rd with Peter Komyshan on exactly the same time around 8 minutes down on Simmo. Legs were very tired towards the end and could blame the long day on Saturday but in reality not enough training in the past couple of months to be able to push on.

A good weekend and good end to the bush O Season time for some street O?

Event: Western Australian Middle Distance Orienteering Champs
 

Checking controls for the Middle distance Championships at Hill Park Dale Long slow run / walk to find 50+ controls and check they were OK and not moved by Sheep or other means. One control blown over, a couple opened up in the wind and need fixing and one a bit low in a creek otherwise all good. hard to concentrate for so long in technical terrain.

Run in Kings park, included a few hills, with a run up the Broad Walk, DNA tower and Mount St (Mount St was hard work not done that for a few years)

Regular Kings Park run, chassing Ned around kept swapping with her and expected her to come by at the end but I managed to keep going. More training required for Kelly to get back to he previous form.
