shoes: Inov-8 X-Talon 212 (#7 Black)
Aus Champs - Split Rock
Strongest field for me at an Aus champs for a long time and great area. Planning wasn't great though.
Steady start, then managed to do something odd en route to #5 after dud leg out into the paddocks. I think it was just a gross undershoot. After a bit of trying to make the map fit, I dithered went back to fence and still couldn't figure it. Saw Greg going slowly up the hill beyond me and it clicked that I was a whole hill earlier than I thought. Ran past Greg with a bit of Kiwi baiting, and we raced the rest of the course together.
There was one really hard leg on the course - I lost contact, ran behind Greg and picked up where I was as he attacked the control going downhill. I looked up the hill saw the control. Some epic blowouts on the leg.
Run hard through the rest of the course, some minor mistakes.
4th, 4 minutes down on Greg, 2 minutes on Scotty and 16 seconds on bloody Jem, but near top of the pack - 90 second between 3rd and 8th I think.

Event: Oceania 2019
12 PM
orienteering race 18:38 [3] 2.96 km (6:18 / km) +52m 5:47 / km
shoes: Hoka OneOne SpeedGoat 2
Oceania Sprint, Charles Sturt Uni
Not really switched on to the program - this turned out to be a bush + campus sprint. Decided to try the Speed Goats and they were fine.
Steady start, wrong level at #3, but otherwise fairly clean until I caught Simon 2 minutes at #12. He went N to #13, as I went S and beat him. Then back into the start "clearing" at #14 and I lost the plot, misreading where the control was. Then messay at #16 and messed up #17 which seemed to have wrong control description (not sure if that was the source of my initial error).
Kind of frustrating, but I just wanted the leg stretch and it was good for that.
