Orienteering warm up/down 15:00 [3]
not much of a warmup
Orienteering race (JWOC trials long) 52:18 [4]
Finally got things to click! Not sure this course was really long enough for a long trial, but atleast it meant i didnt lose focus in the end of the course. Only significant mistake was on 5 where i once again navigated to t he circle and didnt see the control, 2mins gone. really got to work on looking around me. Then had a bit of a hesitation on 13, another minute. was in the right place but lost confidence in myself for a bit so checked where i was on a hill. pretty clean through the green where a lot of others made mistakes.
First win since QB last year, and finally felt like i was racing as i was back then :)

Orienteering warm up/down 25:00 [3]
had to rush the 1.7 km to the start as i had first start and we were later to arrive than i wanted to be...so wasnt as mentally prepared for starting as i like to be
Orienteering race (JWOC middle trial) 37:36 [4]
spiked no1 and 2. but then on 3 navigated perfectly into the control, and simply didnt see the control (we have established red kiwi's controls are a teh colour of sunlight on pine needles). so relocated off the clearing and came back to exactly the same spot, where i saw the control this time garr! 2.5 mins gone like that. then was real slow and tired through the back part of the course in softer sand. few dodge route choices at the end didnt help either.
just need to get my head screwed on straight, and look around more in the circle!

Orienteering race (JWOC sprint trial) 18:08 [5]
the worst run ive had in a sprint race in a long time (not incl last sat). Just didn't quite get my head into things. got caught by an uncrossable fence at 2, misread the corners at 5, overshot the gap going to 7 and messed up the routechoice to 13. A pretty average course and a very average run
Orienteering warm up/down 25:00 [3]
quite a crack up seeing everyone do dynamic stretching for the first time after carsten's talk the day before :)

Orienteering (the intense k) 8:30 [5]
going backwards. much cleaner than yday, on 8 anyway
12 PM
Orienteering (star relay) 25:00 [4]
was teamed up with Matt who hadnt done too much orienteering before. did real well though, apart from 1st control where he and duncan put the control in the wrong depression!
my nav was a bit scratchy, and i really had trouble spotting the control once i was in the circle, even though it was a fluoro yellow vest!

Orienteering (simplification) 40:00 [4]
real good exercise. went into some pretty complex terrain with heaps of little reentrants, hills and depressions. was pretty smooth through to 9, where i forgot i was looking for a formline feature rather than a full contour. and 10 where i misread my simplified map, looking for a spur rather than a reentrant. was sweet when i realised what id drawn though.
happy with that exercise :)

Orienteering (traffic lighting) 1:00:00 [3]
bit slower than this morning, getting a bit tired. stopped to talk with some of the junior girls after the green patches. then continued around the 2nd half, which i wasn't so clean in.
so much cutty grass! absolutely mauled my legs running in shorts :s

Orienteering (the intense k) 9:11 [5]
real tricky 1km course with lots of sharp corners, short legs. was doing well for the most part, reading the map pretty well. but then got pulled right on 8 and got stuck on the wrong hill for a bit. was leading until then, but got to keep the concentration going!

Orienteering (control picking) 30:00 [4]
in northern end of pukepuke. couple of my bearings were off, but aside from that pretty happy. man the boys are faster through the undergrowth though!
1 PM
Orienteering (relocation) 1:00:00 [4]
With Laura.
got the feeling i found this harder than she did?
good exercise, although perhaps not the hardest terrain for it, further south on the map would have been better. Also, when you're following your partner you have all the time in the world to take in all around you, where as in a race you usually get lost because you're taking too much time reading ahead on your map and not looking at where you are at the time.

Orienteering (the flying mile) 10:02 [5]
Got numbers 1 and 2 sweet as. But then i caught Amber up... something I've noticed i def need to work on is keeping to my own race when i catch someone up. On a number of occasions ive struggled to continue past someone once ive caught them and that was the case here. on3 i was reading the map fine, and knew i was too short, knew exactly where i was, but still let myself get lead astray by Amber stopping and looking for the control early!? the brain is a funny thing...
4, we both got pulled too far right. and 5 i got pulled right again. so finished just behind Amber in the end.
