Paddle with stevej and matsiv from Middle swan bridge to guilford bridge and back. For some reason it seemed harder today.... maybe the 2 PRS skis I was chasing had something to do with that.
Orienteering race 20:28 [3] 3.75 km (5:27 / km)
Nice steady pace today. Good to be improving each week, getting more comfortable with this navigation business. Only a couple of small hiccups today but corrected fairly early so no standing around scratching my head wondering where the control is. Caught up with stevej after a few controls but I don't have the speed to pass him. He made a couple of very minor mistakes which allowed me to lead for a short time but got back in front at 13. 17 to 18 we made different choices and luckily I came out in front. Overall a good team effort as each of us improved from last time (matsiv wins the award for most improved).
Some minor discomfort with the left knee afterwards so ibuprofen and ice again. It seems to be improving albeit very sloooowly. Will be interesting to see how it holds up with some elevation changes next week.
Almost top 10 this week, so that will be the next target.
Well done to everyone involved in organizing another fun event.
