Orienteering race 46:35 [5] ** 10.1 km (4:37 / km)
spiked:28/30c shoes: New Balance M870v3
SSS 21 at Glebe
One of my favourite street o-maps - fast, flat and not may steps. Even better with the foreshore path now extended near the school. Good course too with plenty of viable/equivalent options to link up the 600 points.
My main error was at number 2. Was a bit unlucky with a guy sitting on the seat purposely concealing the flag & SI telling me and another girl it was down the bottom of the hill. With the centre of the circle lined up with the end of the road and other unmapped seats around I got really confused. After a couple of minutes searching I went back to check the upper seat again... I wasn't amused as the guy was when I finally found it behind his back...Grrr! With 2'30" lost there my race for the 100 points was effectively over. Lost another minute taking the long way around via the tram station from 19-14. Should have gone directly up around the cliff line.
Still, ran pretty well to get the lot in 46:35 (580 net). But could've been a lot closer to the top guys if not for mucking up 2. Richard 43:53, Andy 44:22 & Glenn 44:42.
My route: 15-26-16-3-21-9-22-25-8-2-23-13-19-14-28-7-6-24-11-12-29-5-27-18-20-4-1-30-10-17.

Running warm up/down 15:00 [2] 1.5 km (10:00 / km)
shoes: New Balance M870v3
Glutes really sore (DOMS) & R knee stiff from Monday night's match so it was a long and painful warm up but felt ok by the end.
