Monday Mar 19, 2018 #
Road cycling 2:31:09 [3] 57.2 km (2:39 / km)
ahr:104 max:143 shoes: Bike: Beemer Auto
Around the river, including Mt Henry, then up the coast. Easterlies.
Bugger - a ute pulled out in front of me at the soil place opposite Shenton College, hit the brakes hard and went over the handlebars. A few bruises and sore spots, but the main damage was to the screen on my Garmin 235 and the right lever on the handlebars.
Limped home in SCR at first, but gradually got less sore.

Event: Whiteman Park
Orienteering race 15:57 [4] 2.1 km (7:36 / km)
ahr:136 max:162 shoes: Inov-8 Oroc 280
NavDash race at Whiteman Park. Forgot my O shoes and O glasses, could have done with the X-T 190s as there was soft sand over quite a bit of the course. OK up to 10, possibly could have gone a bit quicker. 13 was on the line between 10 and 11, and 14 was in the same direction as 11 but on a slight angle, and on top of that the numbers were obscured. Of course I went straight from 10 to 14, took a few seconds to recover when the code didn't match, and then after finding and punching 11 sped off at 180 degrees for 20 metres or so, then turned round and took a slower route choice over the sandhill to 12. Guesstimate of time loss over these errors is 1.5 to 2 mins. Think I picked the wrong route to 13 given it was on the inside of the wall, making the right route around the motor museum the better one - I went left and had to cope with lots of soft sand and having to double back from the wrong side of the wall. OK over the rest. GPS 2.49kms.
Pity the course setters didn't attend the workshop the other week - they would have learned (1) don't put a control on the line between two others, and (2) offset the circle slightly to show which side of a barrier the control is on. Alex Tarr mp'd at 13 because he also went to the wrong side of thew wall and assumed the control was missing. On the whole though, the course wasn't bad for a first attempt.
