Orienteering race 16:41 [5]
WOC trial sprint - UTAS launceston campus.
After a cold morning it was nice that the fog lifted and it warmed up just before the start. Had a good race, and managed to stay ahead of the navigation enough to avoid much time loss. miss read the direction out of one control (started heading from 4 to 17) but only got about a metre. Caught Sarah about half way round, but she was running fairly erratically, so best to ignore. would have been nice to be able to run a bit faster.

Orienteering race 36:27 [5] 4.72 km (7:43 / km) +135m 6:45 / km
WOC middle trial at Ben Bullen.
Legs were feeling a bit busted after this mornings race, and didn't like the warm up too much. Didn't have the greatest start to the race - I didn't really find that anything on the way to the first control made much sense. Lost about 2 mins here - mainly just hesitating and trying to figure out what I could relocate off. Got going through the next section in the plantation, but continued to struggle with the map - seemed to be massively under-mapped, but maybe thats cos I'm used to Erics maps.
Caught Shannon on the run across to the spectator control, and ran with her till the end. Certainly helped me run a bit faster at the end when I was getting tired. Again - legs didn't really get going. Just not fit enough to handle the heavy terrain. Pity about the map.

a short run in anzac park, in the dark and rain, after a long day of field work in the rain. legs felt surprisingly ok given how much walking I've already done today.

Orienteering race 1:20:00 [3] 9.0 km (8:53 / km)
badge event at mundoolan. plan was to have a nice practice run before next weekend. ended up having a 'maybe thats got the mistakes out of the way' run instead. issues with compass, issues with not paying enough attention, issues with reading stuff in the circle, issues with running longer than 70 mins.
on the bright side, running is improving, so bring on next weekend hey!
