MTB hills (trail) 36:55 10.78 km (17.5 kph) +200m
ahr:135 max:150 rhr:84 slept:6.9 weight:66kg shoes: Giant XTC Adv 29er 2 (grey)
Legs a bit stiff around the house in the morning but felt fast on the bike in the cool weather. New CR by 43". Heavy rain late yesterday and showers this morning seems to have smoothed out the trail. 3 walkers. 18°C. TE 2.7.

Orienteering race (MetrO League 5) 54:01 *** 6.2 km (8:43 / km) +114m 7:58 / km

"Boggabilla Lansdowne Park". Div 3: 4.4km, +115m, 15c. 13th/30 (10:50 behind Lee Coady). 22°C. TE 3.2.
Best MetrO run this season. Tried to keep to tracks as much as possible since the bush was quite overgrown. Pretty clean, except for #8, where I didn't go far enough (lost 2:50). Probably should have backtracked from #14 rather trying to go direct to #15. Best legs: #11/F (1st/30). Best pos: 7th/30 (#5-7).

Orienteering race (SOS ultra sprint) 21:59 *** 2.76 km (7:58 / km) +42m 7:24 / km
ahr:149 max:166 spiked:45/50c rhr:70 slept:6.25 weight:66kg shoes: Nike Zoom Flyknit Streak
"Robert Pymble Park", Pymble. Long Line: 2.5km, 49c. 17th/51 (8:51 behind Toby Wilson). 19°C. TE 2.7. Vdot 23.0
A different ultrasprint format to the other two I did in 2014 & 2016. This time the racing was continuous with only a small untimed period (about 30") in the middle to download, clear, check and restart. Four maps including a map exchange and two map flips. Pretty happy with my result. As usual the multiple controls on adjacent trees was the most confusing part. The maze was pretty straightforward each time. Just 5 penalties added 2:30 to my time. It looks like I made errors on #3/14/27/37/43. Best legs: #5/9/40/41 (1st/51 - very surprising). Best pos: 12th/51 (#33/41).

MTBO race (SSS 45-min score) 58:08 ** 12.14 km (4:47 / km) +197m 4:26 / km
ahr:147 max:166 spiked:26/31c rhr:71 slept:6.15 weight:66kg shoes: Giant XTC Adv 29er 2 (grey)
"Gone Trotting", Harold Park, Forest Lodge, Glebe. 29/30c. Net 430/600 points. 13:08 late (-140 penalty). 21°C. TE 3.4.
I haven't attempted a full season of SSS since 2010-11. Due to my chronic achilles problems I will now only do street events on a MTB and only then if I can get a reasonable number of controls (ie minimal bush, stairs, traffic, etc). The best thing about Season 30 is that the map is published the night before so I can decide whether it is worthwhile having a go. A few mistakes executing the plan. The main handicap was leaving the control descriptions in the car which meant I was never sure what feature I was looking for. I realised about one-third in that I would probably be late so I just decided to keep collecting controls. My score wouldn't count anyway.
Sequence: S-25-26-17-9-29-20-30-10-19-28-6-18-5-13-(23)-1-22-11-21-2-12-3-4-14-27-24-7-15-8-16-F.
Time losses: #28 - Wrong road (-2'). #5 - Too low (-50"). #23 - Not found (-3'). #1 - Overshot (-20"). #4 - 90° error (-1'). Est time lost: 7:10.

ahr:136 max:148 rhr:83 slept:5.85 weight:66kg shoes: Giant Roam XR1 (white)
Berowra<>Berowra Waters Ferry. I switched from the planned MTB ride to take advantage of a traffic free road while the BWF stopped operating for its monthly service on second Tuesdays. Unfortunately safety barrier roadworks at the lower part of segment 3 spoilt a good descent. Legs felt good today for a change. 29°C. TE 3.0.
