Event: MetrO Series Orienteering 10 - Noranda
 

Metro Series at Noranda. Got a bit delayed at the start helping a visiting young Czech guy, and was behind a large mob turning up the path to 15, so decided to follow the Czech (but a long way back - he was pretty quick) across the bridge and do some controls on the West side of Tonkin Highway first. Once over the bridge I could see a nice linear route through the streets then back along limestone paths in the bush so ended up with no controls East of the highway. Turns out this was maybe 1km longer than collecting the 8 controls North of the Start. Also didn't spot the shortcut through to 22 which would have saved a deviation through bush and sand to 17. Very hot - distance a guess at this stage as I once again omitted to start the Garmin until after several controls. Czech finished 2nd, me 9th around 11 minutes back.

Usual ride around the river to The Daily in Swanbourne, with banana bread this week. Time distance a bit of a guess, as I went from Swanny to home via firstly Glen Parker in Nedlands and then Elite in the City, and the gps on my mobile lost signal somewhere along the way.
