orienteering race (Aust middle champs) 1:06:51 [3] 4.9 km (13:39 / km)
shoes: Inov8 Oroc spikes
Hmmm, a bit scrappy. Also junky underfoot, but knees actually held up fairly well (acknowledging extreme unco-ness, and a lot of bum-sliding into erosions). I kept stopping short, and looking for controls in ditches about as deep as my knees when the erosions were actually deeper than my head, in some cases. Creeks full of water and ferns were a) pretty and b) not easy to cross. I enjoyed myself but wish I had concentrated better, especially in the Bermuda triangle of casuarinas where I lost time on both 9 and 14. Which is not to say that all the other controls were clean either - a bit like my efforts on Rowdy Flat last weekend.
