orienteering 1:08:00 [2] 3.7 km (18:23 / km)
Italian 5 days bush model event.
Not too hard nav apart from working out contours in spots but steep thick and uneven ground so I often took tracks . As can be seen from my time I barely ran. This was partly for thinking and partly as I felt very very unfit and heavy legged. I’ve lost some fitness lately through combination of being so busy, sitting a lot ( work, Rogaine organising, study) and lack of daylight. Suspect I’m still jet lagged and I’m certainly not used to warm humid conditions. My goal for the events will be to keep connected with the map and find controls. :)
The map today had some open meadows with cows. I took some photos they were very sleek. The cows have cow bells on their necks! I wonder what they think of the them? They are pretty loud. Maybe they all have hearing loss?
Our accommodation is nice. Tiny kitchen but great because we can make our own meals. We now have another 18 yo orienteering lad staying with us from Canberra, Toby L. Our local Toby Caz will join us in a couple of days after doing some races in Budapest. It is nice to have access to fresh vege again after the travel days. We are right next door to a supermarket.

orienteering 15:00 [3]
Sprint model in a nearby village, Pinzolo. Angu, arrived today, kindly drove us down to this and we jogged around together getting tips. It was busy and festive with live music in the town square - heard U2 and theme from Out of Africa. Then I did a little bit on my own while boys went faster. Hot and humid.
Highlight was stopping at a cool fountain for a drink, the water was icy. In the trough at the base of the fountain someone had placed bottles of coke and champagne, very practical!
