Event: Xmas 5 Days - #3 (Pyrmont)
Note
(injured)
Hammy still sore so decided 45 mins pounding the streets wouldn't be ideal if I want to run the next two days.

Left hamstring trying to catch Ewan!
10 AM
Orienteering race (Xmas 5 Days - Day 2) 14:26 [4] 2.61 km (5:32 / km)
Cockatoo Island - Hard 2 (MB)
Well I'm glad that went off well and everyone enjoyed themselves. After years of thinking the Island would make a good venue it lived up to expectations with positive comments all around.
Ewan was my 2 minute man (or boy). Caughty sight of him at 5 then lost him again at 6 after some dithering, back on his heals at 9 only to lose him again where he correctly took the low route to teh control whereas I went high and had to go down the stairs. No chance of catching him after this especially as my left hammy started to play up. Great course from Undy. Finished 7th on the day, one second behing O-ing & Scott Simson.

Georges Heights - Hard 2 (Men B)
Long sprint format. Pleased to get 1 cleanly as it seemed to throw a few people. Clean through the next few, probably wasted some time planning route to 10, through the wedding at 11 and struggled up the hill to 13. Took the northern road route to 16 which was sub-optimal and then clean to the finish. 5th on the day and behind Ali George!

Running 1:10:45 [3] 10.56 km (6:42 / km)
Christmas Day run from the Wilkinson's.
The group spilt after about 3k leaving Undy, Jock and I to do the long loop. Pretty shafted by the end.

Event: Big Foot Sprints XVII

Orienteering race (Big Foot Sprints - leg 1) 12:37 [4] 2.39 km (5:17 / km)
The Big Show
StK66 was my minute man and I caught him at 4, after that I was by myself. Only stuff up was a 11 where I was looking in the unmapped ditch on the east of the track rather than west. 10th overall for leg 1.

Chasing start going off 26 secs after both Jock & Greg and 28 secs after Coyote. Ran like hell from the start and nearly made contact at 4 but went backwards from there onwards. Dithered at 7 and took the longer, lower route to 8 (Ewan was 20 secs faster going back up). Didn't lose or gain any places so ended up 10th overall. Very pleased after Monday's debacle, giving me some hope for the 5 Days. Great effort from Simon to organise such a great event on Chrustmas Eve.,
