Orienteering race (NOL Middle) 36:30 [5] 7.2 km (5:04 / km) +140m 4:37 / km
At Wiela/Bunyip Reach, came 5th, +2:33mins to Aston. Got to SA a bit early forgetting the 30min time zone change (fruit reminders rightly more important than time reminders as you drive from Mildura to Renmark). I started first for split start reasons, so it was kind of fun having the area to myself. Got the heat of the day though somehow. Anyway, fun course, not especially tricky but enough to catch you out if you weren't playing attention. And definitely enjoyed running in very different deserty-style terrain with just small bushes, sandy banks and erosion gullies to go by. Had a good run, felt ok, got tired - and in the end wasn't too far behind the youngsters.
Then took longer going around the W10N shadow course with Florence crying that she hated the spikey desert and stopping to empty her shoes every 50m and Daisy simply refusing to walk at all so having to have a shoulder ride the whole way whilst I also had Isabelle trying to sleep on my tummy as I carried her too.
