orienteering 15:00 [2] 1.8 km (8:20 / km)
A contour only exercise. I found it challenging but at a walking pace I found it pretty good :) Most things were matching up but when it came down to the really intricate sqiggles that confused me. A nice walked warm up :)

Erghh is my overall feeling of this exercise. This one was focusing on long legs. I originally thought I was going to find it alright but tiredness and a whopping headache was making it increasingly difficult to plan and execute my route. I ended up at 2 when I thought I was on 1 and because there were no number relating on the stand I didn't know. So I punched fairly happy that I'd reached it to go off to control 2 and of course it was no where to be seen. Anyway so I decided to head to control 3 because this was afterall an exercise focusing on long legs. I made a plan but didn't reach my mini controls but fortunately had a few stragglers trying to get there too to help me :)

Sprint 1:5000 map on a rocky part of the map. Oh this was fantastic! With Victorian and NSW people sprinting everywhere the feeling was enticing and exciting! I did loose contact at one stage and ran to the wrong rock while trying to keep up with people. So that's a lesson to not get distracted! Loved it!
