Run race ((orienteering)) 1:36:00 [3] **** 10.6 km (9:03 / km) +440m 7:30 / km
spiked:28/29c
Yesterday the body was feeling good, but it was a different story today - I had a definite sense in my (limited) warm-up that this was going to be one of the one or two random days a month when my back wasn't going to play ball, and so it proved. It was manageable on flat ground and downhill, both of which existed in reasonable quantities on the first two loops, but was no good on any sort of climb, and was gradually getting worse when I decided enough was enough at the end of two loops. At least I got halfway this year - at this rate I'll manage to get to the finish by 2016....
Technically it was a good run with no mistakes of any size, just a couple of questionable lines. Took an out-there route choice from the start, going back through the assembly area and up the road - not sure how it worked out but the people I was around at and after the first common control were roughly those I would have expected to be around on a decent day.
The event itself was a very good one which deserved a better turnout; Kooyoora is a lovely place to be (especially at this time of year) and it was frustrating not to be able to get a result.
