orienteering race (Lyell forest) 34:34 [4] 8.37 km (4:08 / km) +150m 3:47 / km
was tossing up about whether to go to the uni invite cross country today or going orienteering. wanted to go orienteering cos i havtn done any since the NOLs and i love lyell forest, but andy had been pestering me all week to do the uni run, and ive heard they do a good afternoon tea. when my car wouldnt start yesterday it was looking like i would have to do the XC but luck was in my hands today and the car started so i decided to head out to lyell forest for the orienteering. got to the event fine but i was shitting myself about weather the car would start for the ride home.
race was pretty scrappy, lost about 20secs at 20 at 9 and ended up on the track on the long leg, but jeez i was hammering and i felt great physically. i love this area cos its so fast and such nice forest. no competition(toph and bryan in nz, and jimbo and james??) today so i was aiming to try and get under 4.30min kms for the 7.2km course. didnt get it today though as i lost too much time. but was a good course anyway
the car started and i got home fine so it was a good day. i think its on its last legs though
