WC long champs at False bay nature reserve.

Really good run. No real mistakes, just some slightly less optimal routes+hesitations. Got stuck in the green a bit from 5-6, stopped a bit early to 9, not trusting I was in the right place.(contours for the ridge felt a bit weird, seemed much more than a single line, potentially an added form line would)
help). Then went a bit low out of 16 losing a few secs.

Managed to avoid the sewerage ponds today. And also wore long pants which was pretty useful :p

Definitely not running as fast as a have been in the past, but always weird how good the nav feels when I've had long breaks between orienteering..

M21A - Splits

Clovelly golf course night event.

Really nice to be orienteering! Took a few controls to get into it. Small hesitation to 1, then ran to 3 before 2 (10secs). Went too far left to 15 (15secs), overran 21 (10secs).

Few other very small mistakes, but pretty happy with that given the running at night+ no real O in over a year.

Long Course - Splits

Some O around keurboom park with Sarah.

Newlands with Jono and Bruce. Plans got a bit messed up with me taking my time getting there because of m3 being closed, not wanting to sit in main road traffic and then deciding to run 4k's to get there instead. Met them at the reservoir and then ran through to kirstenbosch via upper singletrack and mtb path. Down through bottom gate and back on the road (2/3 of our headlights had died, so wasn't too keen on trail back)

With Bruce. Haven't seen him the last couple years while he's been teaching in Korea, but he's become a runner in that time which is great :p

From c.nek over to silvermine dam via vlakkenberg, constantiaberg, bit of the skyline. Nice swim there and then back via the upper tokai jeep and vlakkenberg. Really nice to be be out on these trails :D Ankle good besides one little kick of a rock where it wasn't happy for a couple min.
