Event: John XXIII
Orienteering race 18:15 [4] 2.8 km (6:31 / km)
shoes: Brooks Adrenalin GTS
Long course at JXXIII
First error was coming out of 3 and heading back to 2. Got about half way and headed back to 4 - probably 20-30 seconds. The rest was fine and reasonably clean, although I think I missed one or two of the best routes.

Orienteering race 10:35 [4] 1.7 km (6:14 / km)
shoes: Brooks Adrenalin GTS
Short course @ JXXIII.
Chasing start sprint challenge - 30 second intervals with slowest from the long course off first. I started in between Rachel and Steve.
Saw a glimpse of Rachel at 1 and then could see that she had more or less caught Andre by 2. Kept nearly running into them for a few controls on the in and out legs. Nearly collected Steve in between 3 & 4. Steve caught me at 8 and got ahead at 9, Rachel and Andre were still leading at that point.
Lost sight of them all as I headed to 10, punch and saw Rachel coming from a strange angle. Then I saw Steve coming back down from 11 back to 10. I had only seen Sten once in the middle of the course and there was no sign of tRicky. Pushed hard all the way back from 11 and managed to hold them all off.
Great fun way of organising a race - I had people in my sights most of the time and could feel Steve breathing down my neck. Might have to let Ceri have a go next time though.
Thanks to Craig for the courses - great use of a tight area and for letting us have a bit of extra fun at the end.

Rogaine 6:30:01 [2] 26.0 km (15:00 / km)
shoes: Scarpa walking shoe
Morning leg.
South and west - out to "the hill" and back. Again no issues with navigation, we continued to hit the controls spot on every time. Loved the loop around the hill 65-84-77-99-103.
We knew we were pushing time and started to run some down hills in the bush from 99 onwards. Dropped 44, but figured this left us with 2500pts (2500 for the first time). First nav issue was at 95 where we lost 2 - 3 minutes. Headed north to 29 running most of the way, but JB was struggling a bit. Heard the 5 minute hooter and knew it would be REALLY tight. Ran through the HH only to have bloody Juffy blow the hooter when we were about 20m short. First time in 40 rogaines that I've been late. JB pushed as hard as he could, so no complaints there at all.
Summing up;
Probably our cleanest nav effort ever - 38 out of 39 spiked
Food intake is now working well for us
Planned loops were almost perfect - we dropped 1 control from the whole plan.
1st time late
Highest score ever - 2490
Highest place ever - 6th (YAY!)
GPS watch was an epic fail - it lasted 90 mins on a full battery?!?!?!?!
LOVED this event - well done Juffy and team, excellent effort.
