Cycling (MTBO ALDC control check) 4:10:06 [3] 29.04 km (8:37 / km)
shoes: Giant Anthem 26 ex Wally
Checked 2/3 of the tapes for the MTBO Aus Champs at Nanga - all good. Will do the rest on Sunday so tRicky can go OS with some peace of mind. Meanwhile have to recover from the hills that I walked the bike up today - faaaaarkinhell! The day had its compensations - since I missed the FROGS ride and the requisite coffee and cake, I indulged at the Blue Wren in Dwellingup - bought the most incredible chocolate obscenity I've had in a long time - took me three goes to finish it. Back for more on Sunday :-)

Orienteering race (Foot O WA LDC Lovers Lane) 1:19:13 [2] 4.77 km (16:37 / km) +47m 15:50 / km
shoes: Merrell Continuum
A less successful day and a real slog on one of our toughest maps. Blew the second control by going to the correct large mound but not checking the correct side for the control. Went to several others before coming back in time for a road train of competitors charging in to show me where it was located. The rest of the course was OK nav wise, although a few controls were also speeded up by seeing others at work. Terrain was tough as expected but the vegetation seemed even thicker than before - shame I'm so slow that the long options though open areas aren't viable. Fortunately one of our SWOTters saved me from the ignominy of coming last.
