Orienteering race 17:28 [5] **** 4.02 km (4:21 / km) +3m 4:20 / km

Sprint into Spring Race 3
La Trobe University



There was a fantastic field for today's race, including World Cup team members (Jakob, Thor, Lawford, Keely, Nankervis and Doyle) and other internationals from Denmark, UK and USA.

La Trobe University always offers a good technical sprint course, and today's course was well planned by Clare Baker.
My result was a good start to my 5th decade and it was nice to finish second and beat most of the World Cup Sprint runners.

Orienteering warm up/down 16:56 [2] 2.65 km (6:23 / km) +17m 6:11 / km

Note

Rest day for me today on my last day in my 30s.

Instead I spent the morning coaching 111 students from Westgarth Primary School in the Victorian Primary Schools Orienteering Championships at Westerfolds Park.

The kids did a brilliant job and won the overall school title for the first time.
A great effort, particularly as most of them had never been orienteering outside of their school grounds before.

Here is Mason's Grade 6 A course.
