| Event: 2008 Australian Championships

 | Orienteering race 45:12 [4] **** 3.5 km (12:55 / km) +120m 11:01 / km | |
| spiked:11/15c |
| Middle Distance Champs / 'North of Aramara' / 1:10 000. Had some good splits today - technique did work when I got it right. Complexity of watercourses in thicker vegetation surprised me, and it is clear I am going to have to improve my 'process' (as Darvo would put it) in similar situations as the carnival progresses. Positive first event, though disappointing final outcome. |

| Took juniors over to Hervey Bay tonight for introduction to Brigit's Scavenger Hunt. Great start from the group, with Kas punching out 28 push ups in 30 seconds to clinch an exciting tie breaker. Things have improved on yesterday, and we have our full squad with us now as well. |

| Traveled with NSW juniors to Q'ld today. Great atmosphere and much excitement. Mini bus, less than 5000km on clock, broke down 30 minutes after leaving Brisbane Airport. Waited almost 4 hours, including a couple of hours at Northlakes Westfields, before two smaller replacements arrived. Kazza became a driver as well. Left airport around 10:30am - got to Maryborough around 5:30pm!!! Hope things get better from here. |

| Event: NSW Long Championships
|
| Orienteering race 1:39:29 [4] ***** 6.7 km (14:51 / km) +225m 12:43 / km | |
| spiked:12/16c |
| NSW Long Champs / 'Wattle Ridge' / 1:10000. I knew it would be tough - technical rock and reduced visibility is the combination I fear the most. Reckon I could have improved 15 minutes due one shocker control, time lost in/near circle on two controls, and one shocker route choice - even though I spiked the control. So I was never going to be competitive, but extremely happy with my effort today, I needed to move quicker most of the time, but I kept my navigation under control and could not have coped in this terrain if I pushed harder. Enjoyed the challenge, achilles no worse for the outing, and heaps to feel positive about. |
