Orienteering race 36:20 [3] 2.6 km (13:58 / km)
QBIII - day 3 at Beyond Rocklea
Started off badly with a leg that took me 6:41 instead of about 3 mins. Plan was to follow track and then the control should just magically appear in front of me.... of course that never happened. Should have used termite NE as AP or followed track option south of leg. Went super safe to 2 and took long option along tracks. Slightly off to 3 where I saw Alex D rushing the other way. Went along bottom of cliffs to 5 which made it easier to spot control. Used track NE of 7 as AP. On the map there were only 2 termies marked SW of finish - in the bush there definitely more which made it interesting for a vague last control.... Karen, Linda and I finished within 30 secs. Well I know where I lost more than 30 secs on the course.

QBIII - Day 2 at Tree Cave Track
First control was a termite mound in a flat area with a few other random termies - very much a bingo control. Was lucky enough to be led into control - others took 10 mins for a 250m leg!!! Lost some time to 3 where I got slightly confused with tracks. Used tracks as much as possible as white was not as runnable as expected. Nearly came undone between 6 to 7 when I lost confidence just north of control and thought I was still one gully short. Lost time climbing down some rockface and after some more scrambling through the bush I finally got to 7. Could have gone more direct for some legs, but must have done ok as I did same time as fastest M55. Yeah.

Orienteering race 17:07 [3] 2.4 km (7:08 / km)
QBIII - Day 1 at Chevalier College
Took me forever to find start to control 1 by which time I started a less optimal route choice. Took a crap bearing to 4 and ended up about 100m west of control. Lost about 1:30 mins ... did ok through the technical building stuff except from 7 to 8 where I missed the steps to go downstairs and ended up going the long way. All up happy with run with plenty of room for improvement.
