orienteering race 54:00 [4] **** 6.0 km (9:00 / km) +130m 8:07 / km
shoes: Inov8 X-Talon 212 (#2)
Oz Champs - relay.
Shocker - after tracking Jockus Dockus to the marsh crossing en route to #2, I switched off. Eventually realised I had no idea what I was doing and headed down hill a long way to relocate on a creek crossing.
Then fairly OK through #16 where my brain must have been melting down, kept attaching control from wrong side.
Not a happy outing, sorry team.

shoes: Inov8 X-Talon 212 (#2)
Australian Long Champs, The Golden Fleece.
Back in the tin mining.
Fairly conservative race, cleanish through to #10, where I lost about 45s in the circle, lost contact on the way to #12 (long leg across sand and scrub). Picked up Mike Burton for a few legs to #15, but my #15 wasn't on his course.
Came horribly unstuck on the way to #17 and had to relocate on the finish (!), losing 5 minutes.

orienteering race 20:44 [4] *** 4.0 km (5:11 / km) +30m 5:00 / km
shoes: Asics Gel-1160
Australian Sprint O - Bicheno
Great sprint-O with the technical bits provided by the rock platforms along the coast. Made one quite big error (90s) and maybe another 45s of mistakes. Beaten by Mike B and Shingo, but they were both in M50, so I scraped another lucky win.

orienteering race 1:00:41 [4] *** 8.0 km (7:35 / km) +200m 6:45 / km
slept:8.0 shoes: Inov8 X-Talon 212 (#2)
Tas champs - long.
Left #2 trying to avoid a small bit of slow forest and instead ploughed right into a big bit of fight, just not with the map scale. Bashed through it onto the wrong spur. Clean leg from there but the damage was done.
Another mistake later when I didn't follow the herd and went too high... stupid, stupid, probably another 2 minutes there.
Way off Eddies sub-50 minute pace, but should have been well under 60.

Aus Middle Distance Champs, Jason's Task
Brilliant tin mining terrain.
Cleaner than I could hope for through 7. On the way to 8 I lost contact a little and relocated on a knoll - unfortunately it was the knoll under the red line, not the one I could see on the map, so things didn't fit and I had to relocate - lost 5 minutes.
One other 1 minute+ mistake, but everyone else was having their own nightmare's so I won !! Expect the rest of the week to be harder, but we do have two more long races on adjoining maps.
Foot OK, so unticking the injury box.
