Orienteering race (stb 5) 22:16 [5]
shoes: x talon 212

sleeping giant/ te mata peak. missed a couple at the start from just not seeing them, then when i got to the forest i just overan everthing by a long way, not used to the scale. wasted 2 mins on 5, then didn't see 10 even though i must of been right by it, so wasted another min or so there. pretty terrible all round, although i did enjoy the map and the hills

arataki- started off pretty good, and was hapy with my first loop, then on the second my pace slowed and i made a couple of small mistakes.

Orienteering race (stb 3) 18:17 [5]
shoes: Addidas Adizero Adios

the west side- really enjoyed the course on this map, and felt like I did pretty well for the most part, apart from one big 40 sec odd mistake, where I got blocked off, then took ages to find another route, only other mistakes came from not seeing a couple of walls or gaps. Once again would of been happy if it wasn't for one big mistake

Orienteering race (stb 4) 18:35 [5]
shoes: Addidas Adizero Adios

frimley- only made a couple of tiny route choice mistakes and one of two minor 5 sec errors on this one, but my speed was way down. really felt like a struggle to run fast and had a bit of a saw lower back/glute when i did push. so yeah just way to slow on this one

11 AM

Orienteering race (stb 1) 16:07 [5]
shoes: x talon 212

1st race of stb, was pretty full on from the get go, made a couple of small route choice mistakes but otherwise was fine...... apart from missing a control, just completely missed it on the map, would have gone within 10m of it as well. wasn't an ideal start to the weekend

Orienteering race (stb 2) 17:43 [5]
shoes: Addidas Adizero Adios

napier central race, was fairly happy with my speed on this one but made about 3 mistakes including a 30 sec one which meant a pretty average result, would of been happy without that one big mistake

9 AM

kayaking 30:00 [2]

felt a little adventurous this morning so... kayaked over to rangitoto from narrow neck, pretty easy with a slight tail wind and nice flat water.

10 AM

Running 55:00 [3]
shoes: Addidas Response trail 18

Bit of a unplanned run on rangitoto was just going to jog round to mackenzie bay but then saw a sign there for the summit saying an hour fifteen, so figured it was close enough, and went for it. took about 25 mins from mackenzie bay up, with a bit of power walking on the steep bits. fun run back down. felt pretty good

11 AM

kayaking 32:00 [3]

quite a bit harder on the way back, with a head wind and a bit of chop. also pushed the pace over the channel to get well clear of a container ship haha. suprised it only took a couple of mins longer, suppose i put a fair bit more effort in

7 PM

Biking 1:00:00 [3]

ride at woodpoo with alex and richard. just riding the charge. was a very casual affair with lots of stops, we were out there for nearly two hours all up, but a fair bit of fluffing around. felt ok on the bike.
