Orienteering (SL2) 1:24:20 [3] 6.42 km (13:08 / km) +123m 11:59 / km
ahr:145 max:181 shoes: Inov8 212 (black & red) 2
Wattle Ridge - Hard 5 (M55A)
Nicely summed up by Jock; A tough area with tough courses on a tough day! Pleased to have finished my first ever course at Wattle Ridge, not sure how many MPs to date, I'm sure the training there during COVID will have helped. To say it was wet would be an understatement, over 44% DNS. Biggest blowout was at 3 where I must skirted by the R hand site of the bare rock and continued on to the bigger rocks 100m or so further on. Wasted over 9 mins wandering around (with a few others) before eventually finding control. Steady for the other controls with a definite wobble at 9 (but not as much as others). A solid day out.

Orienteering (Collecting controls) 1:20:00 [1]
shoes: Inov8 212 (black & red) 2
A very unpleasant time wandering round trying to find and then pick up 6 controls. To say I didn't enjoy it wouldn't be doing justice to how I felt at the time - rain, waterproof hood meaning I couldn't see, tired legs, rocky ground, control stands, 180 error... take your pick.

Western Sydney Uni (MacArthur Campus) - Hard 2 (M55A)
A bit of a swim around given the very wet conditions,the water features were so much bigger (and faster flowing) than mapped, luckily I managed to miss the worst of it during the 20 mins I was out. A reasonable run, only really losing time where I misread the map and ended up a dead run separated by olive green to the control. Fourth was the best I could hope for given I was up against Greg, Jock & Tony. Fun

Note
CBA to spend longer in the car in rain than running.
