mt bike 1:30:00 [2] 15.0 km (6:00 / km)
Cold night ride around Dodging Bullets etc
foot orienteering 1:07:00 [4] 7.0 km (9:34 / km)
Long O state champs at Iron Barron (Casaurina Ridge), 50 kms from Whyalla. 2 hr plus drive up from Melrose in morning and again afterwards.
"Ran" W45 just to fly the flag for the country organisers.
5.1km - course was a bit basic i thought, giving 2 track route choices and some open ground.
Area was good though and elite courses were well set and liked. (susanne Cas and Blair won with Simon U leaving out a control!)
I did amazingly well given my lack of O'ing and inability to run much at all.
Almost did a 180 at the start but map didnt make sense after looking up and I hastly headed off towards 1 taking a silly route choice. Initially I went to go around the hill forgetting that not being able to run meant its generally quicker to go straight. Saw Erica Diment at 3 (started 2 mins ahead) and lost a minute due to rock reading. She bolted away but luckily i later saw her near the 2nd last control. I was so excited that i almost forgot to go find the control first before chasing her!!
So came 2nd behind Robin U and relatively close in a field of 6 or 7, - best I could hope for.
I tried to hobble sometimes but there was a lack of nice ground to jog on, with fist sized rocks everywhere. Ended up with blisters not suprisingly.
Amazed that my knees didnt complain too much - L knee was the most sore afterwards and hamstrings got stiff.
