Started OK, solid again, but was trying to run up the hills instead of reading my map. Will be interested to see the GPS when I get home... Lost about 20 minutes on #5, was SO lost its just sad. Was trying to make everything I saw fit the map for way too long before stopping. You'd think I'd learn to listen to alarm bells sooner after the polish debacle... Twisted my ankle going to 6, which resulted in my dodgy calf seizing up. There there was no way I could run any more hills. Walked back instead. Don't think finishing was an option, will be interested to see the rest of the course after the map change.

Event: SILVA National Orienteering League
 

Ran OK to start with, a bit slow but had a good rhythm when you needed to keep alter. Once we crossed into the bush I did 2 controls OK but then my body had obviously had enough as I headed to the finish (90º from the next control!) on the next 2 controls. By then all was lost.

Again started solidly through the tricky controls, legs were not wanting to move though. Shannon sped past me near 7, running an unbelievable pace. Went into 9 a bit high and got dragged higher by Shannon & Tash. I should have ignored them as I knew they'd both already lost time there. I should have paid attention to them on the way to the next control as I wasted time going through green to it. The last few legs looked easy on the map & I relaxed too much. Lost a bit of time on 13 and heaps on 15 (de ja vu last year's state champs).
