Orienteering race 1:23:27 [5] 9.3 km (8:58 / km)
shoes: Inov8 Mudclaw 300
M40A at Warranine Brook Aus Champs
Started 12 minutes late because Kate took a while and Ceri hadn't quite made it back either. Really good run for the most part, with just minor wobbles in some of the rock detail in the control circles. Saw Bruce and Jock as they headed to 10 and I was about to climb up to 5. Had a couple of people to run with, M21E I think, in the paddocks for a while before going back into the green.
Woke up a big stinky roo on the way down to 11, which I just did straight through the green crap because I failed to notice the left route through some clearer stuff. Might have been a bit slower but not much. Catch Graeme at 12 and left him behind at 13.
Getting pretty tired over the last third. Behind all of the ring-ins from over East and also OMT, which was no great surprise. Only 23 minutes down on Bruce as he took out the coveted M40A crown.

Orienteering 13:47 [5] 1.9 km (7:15 / km)
shoes: Inov8 Mudclaw 300
Aus Sprint Champs at Curtin Uni
Felt really good out of the start triangle only to get myself on the wrong side of some garden beds W of 1. Really suboptimal route to 3 because I couldn't see the more direct way through, which was there but I was really worried about going OOB. Had a brain fart half way to 7 when I thought "Oh fuck, which bit am I up to?", but took a second or two to confirm where I was rather than doing a headless chook impression. Was probably partly due to having over taken the guy 1 min ahead, who kept up with me to 8 but then I dropped him.
Caught site of Graeme (Harris not Labrooy) as I was heading to 9. He started 4 minutes up but I couldn't quite reel him in.
Clean enough through the rest, although I felt like I could have run a bit harder but was worried about inducing brain farts. Maybe should have just tried to hammer a bit more anyway.
Managed to beat OMT - OMG! More importantly, I beat Ceri, bloody W35A bandit that she is :)
Thanks Juffy and Bryce. Good fun. Really wanted a longer run but wasn't keen on 21E quarantine shenanigans. Looking forward to StSW that's for sure.

Orienteering race 37:54 [5] 4.4 km (8:37 / km) +195m 7:03 / km
shoes: Inov8 Mudclaw 300
Aus MD champs at Lover's ridge
Got right into this one from the start and only had minor wobbles in a few places. Hit slightly right of 4 and checked right before going left, probably lost 20 seconds. A little right at 7 too, again only a few seconds.
Came down into 12 to a sea of faces looking back at me obviously looking for the cliff to my right, so I figured it must be to the left and went straight to it. Then overshot 13 assuming it was one I'd seen further along and had the shame of going back to punch after the people I had just punched 12 in front of. Probably 30 seconds there.
Straight to the rest, although my legs gave out coming up out of 18.
Really enjoyed the map (thanks Juffy) and the course.
My sledging of OMT as he headed out of the spectator control didn't put him off enough to slow him down and he pipped me again. Will I ever beat this guy?
