Out on the model for the middle distance. Mixture of open dunes, tricky forest, and lupin.

Model map.
Knee tweaking a couple of times. Stuff in the forest was hard to interpret. Not much in the open dunes to really get a look for what was in store

Event: 2013 Oceania Carnival & WC Races
 

Ran half of the oceania day 1 course on Fusilier. beautiful, flat open pine forest. Knee was good for the main part, got the occasional twinge gloing up dunes but reassuringly ok.
Pulled the pin before I got too tired, or pushed the knee too far. First 4 controls wereat a good race pace though. Lost a couple of mins on 5 when I hit the green but didn;t have a good enough plan. Bit of a good reminder to sharpen up!

short warmup to ensure the knee would be ok with a bit of orienteering. not much of a warmdown, opted to scare people by sitting in the back of the ambulance whilst icing my knee intead ;)

Event 1 C 2 - Splits

a much longer run that expected, but beaut day for it again. Up through wainui mtb park and along the ridge over mt lowry. Down to day's bay, but the water was far too brown from river deluge to swim.
and with perfect timing, as ever, my knee has decided to play up. Similar to Oceania's last year (but not as bad, hopefully). So, looks like resting until the weekend!
