Cycling - Mountain Bike 2:43:01 [3] 43.76 km (16.1 kph) +642m
Beechenhurst 90 (minute) MapRide followed by lap of Verderers
Parked at Speculation as cycle centre car park was full.
90 minute score first, with plan just to get them all. Took 93 minutes. Would have been under 90 if it wasn't so busy. Lots of stop start near cycle centre and Cannot Ponds particularly, don't think I have ever seen the forest so busy. Lots of out of control dogs and young children made going quick impossible. Also groups of adults just taking up whole path width and not looking what was coming other way and electric wheelchairs stopping in middle of track.... Also a few of the controls took a while to connect.
Did a lap of Verderers after which was fun and surprisingly not as busy as expected. They have telson and just reopened last descent which was especially fun... Still need to trust bike and mysellf a bit more though.

Orienteering race 53:29 [3] 7.92 km (6:45 / km) +167m 6:07 / km
MLS - Barossa Blue
Enjoyed today - no real mistakes, apart from a few of 15-20 second losses on 1, 15, 16 and 17.
Feeling ploddy still, but Achilles/ankle much better than last night, which must have been due to softer ground.
Chasing Abi Weeds around and kept on seeing her about the same distance ahead on a few dog leg controls. It looks like she got a slightly bigger gap on last few controls.
6th= 10 mins behind Adam Conway and c. 8 behind Tom and Phil (reasonably happy with that given my running ability at the moment)
