Event: Aust. JWOC Trials
Orienteering race (Gumble Pinnacles) 35:35 [4] **** 6.0 km (5:56 / km) +200m 5:05 / km
shoes: VJ twisters
Felt I had prepared well over the past two weeks for this race thanks to GB.
Went into the race concentrating well, aided by having visited the first two checkpoints two years earlier.
caught Tristan and Geoff Stacey at the 3rd, then made the mistake of blind running through the paddock to the wrong clump of trees and having to 90' to where Simon was punching the control.
Tried to keep up with Simon for the next three, but we eventually took different route choices across the hillside and he powered ahead. Clean through to the spectator.
Then did the usual over cautious slow down in the final loop and punched an extra control (Mortie's). Lost a bit of time. almost made a huge error as I entered the rock much to early and lost about a 1.5min. could have been worse.
was a bit surprised with 2nd place. but I can't complain.
