Event: Goanna
 
10 AM

Orienteering race (Goanna) 47:37 [4] 7.5 km (6:21 / km)
shoes: Inov-8 Mudclaw 333

GPS wasn't fixed at start - thought about trying to delay race until I got a fix .. :)

started ok, 1, 2a, used the hill to #3 to plan route and decided to skip 5 and 17 (if I wanted to change my mind I could have skipped any other and got 17)

went around from 3 to 4, looks like going straight could have been better

saw a track to 6 at the bottom of gully, decided to take this as a slightly longer way, but I was there and had people around me so it sounded like a good idea. saw a few people using more inventive route choices.

took 7a .. I knew that 7b was a better option, but wanted to checkout the track going down from 7a and didnt' realise it went up a fair bit first.

started to struggle with heat, mouth was very dry :(

took the box as ADBC to avoid climb and had Glenn overtake me at 9

Had Michael Burton overtake me at 15, as I had planned to skip 17 I figured if he went left after 16 I would beat him, if he went right then he would beat me, he went left !

4th and 5:45 behind winner

went out and found mum and Lachlan who had a little fun in the bushes who were 1/2 way through their course and did the rest of the gecko with them.

too hot/dry and need more sleep :) but an enjoyable run and course.
