Training Log Archive: The Oscar

Got back to Tas last night and then today headed off to one of the few non-embargoed areas of St Helens for a round of the state series.
Middle distance event of 4.4km. Mostly pretty clean for pretty technical terrain at Littlechild's Creek but a few minor errors and bit rusty with flow. Ended up with a win on Course 1.

NOL LONG
Mass start which I enjoyed. Felt the heat, so didn't feel amazing running,drank soooo much before during and after. Nav was pretty good, but needed more flow on shorter legs, had a bit of an error/unsureness on last loop as track was more substantial and I expected single track by look of map. Didn't realise last loop was common either. Would have preferred not to have lost as much time as I did on last loop, but overall happy with 4th and achieving my pre-race goal of being the first non-local- whose-house-is-on-the-map to finish haha ;-)

Event: Capital Orienteering Festival
 

AM - NOL Middle
As it was first actual O event of the year (other than a campus sprint on Wednesday) I was a bit rusty on the old nav in race situation, few minor errors here and there, didn't feel as fast as I have in training. 5th with only the massively home course advantaged ;-) ACTers plus Josh ahead of me so a reasonable result.

PM - Sprint relay. Teamed with Claire who started the relay and came back in about 7th, I had a pretty clean run and came back in 2nd, then Claire came back in about 7th again i think, I had a good last loop and ended up third behind those Canberrans again Lachy/Belinda and Ian/Georgia. Got a nice fat medal lol

Easy jog round the lake with Lachy, Brodie, Tom.
