Warm up down to the lake and back. Achilles was fine, just felt it coming up the hill at the end.

ACT Sprint Champs at Buckenderra. 2.7km course.
Felt good at the start and 1st control was easy, but then i ran past the 2nd and 3rd (10 and 15 secs lost). Pretty good through the caravan park section, but maybe hesitated slightly on a couple. Hit the next couple in the forest perfectly, which i was happy with, but then slow on the long leg around the OOB. Fine through the spectator (glad i saw it before i went out), but then the 3rd last next to the lake i was too far right and too low and lost 30 secs. Rob W started 1min behind and caught me here.
Ended up 12th (3rd Arrow) and pretty happy with that, but i could've done better. It was my best run of the carnival and got my confidence back that i can actually orienteer.
Not too much pain at all from my achiles or ankle. I was glad that i taped my ankle, as it rolled about half way around the course.
