Orienteering race (NSW long) 2:36:24 [3] 13.0 km (12:02 / km)

Felt ok at the start, forced warmup from car to start, got there about 2 mins late (~4 mins before actual start time)

went out at a slow pace, made an error on 6 going up the wrong hill and climbed 5 more contours than needed.
had a cup of water, was feeling ok but started to tire 1/2 way to 10 (2.5km leg)

kept a relative slow pace but started to struggle, really needed a drink at 10/11
was concentrating on good navigation and moving at a pace I could sustain.
hit 14 and was slowing down more ..
drinks control at 16 and downed 9 cups of drink and a gel but the dmage had been done. couldn't manage much of a run until after 19

since I was probably out of medal contention I decided to take a flatter route to 20 and managed to run most of the way, went past the finish to 21 to reassure my mum and Lachlan that i was ok and had a few more controls to go. was able to jog most of the rest ..

figured I would come last but enjoyed the challenege..

suffered some dehydration headaches for the rest of the day, will definitely need a hydration pack for AUS long champs ..

Orienteering race (NSW middle) 50:34 [4] 6.0 km (8:26 / km)
shoes: Inov-8 Mudclaw 333

Started out reasonably well, ok running and good routes up to 11

probably should have gone straighter at 12

was a little low on 15, was truing to aim a little high so went long way lost 30s

went past 16, was looking for bottom of cliff, was probably getting tired and not concentrating well enough, it was actually on the top of an embankment as was on control description.

went to push it harder at then end and immediately fell over 1/2 way to 18

cruised to the end but was way too casual on last control.

probably 4-5 minutes of errors, fitness and speed a bit below where i would like it to be.
