Event: NOY6 - Belford National Park
11 AM
Orienteering race (NOY 6) 57:10 [5] *** 10.2 km (5:36 / km) +302m 4:53 / km
ahr:174 max:185 shoes: Saucony Wave Blue
Had a pretty good run considering my hip, getting blisters and feeling like I haven't been orienteering in a long time.
Ran everything pretty cleanly until #11. As I thought the marked fence crossings were mandatory, I used them to get from #10 to #11. Ran just to the south of the small pond and then ran on a compass bearing. When I crossed the creek I knew I should have worked out exactly where I was (I crossed right next to a control for the short and moderate hard courses), but didn't and then saw a termite mound and ignored compass. This of course led to running to running in a big circle to check behind a bunch of termite mounds. Eventually I found the another control from the short and moderate hard courses. As it was on a termite mound, I figured it was one of the marked ones to the east of mine and that sorted me out.
On lucky #13, I managed to find the dry ditch and run it all the way to the bottom and then back up it a little, before realizing where I was. I did manage to stumble in to #14 (I did have help as Angus was leaving #14) and Angus also helped me sort out that I was starting to run in the wrong gully for #15.
Other than that, I did do a little zig-zagging to get to some controls where I could have gone more straight. Since the forest was so open all my pace was probably the best I've ever done on a bush event!
My hip was quite sore the rest of the day, but has pulled up pretty well today (Monday). I also got some pretty incredible blisters, I think because I had forgotten my ankle braces. I managed not to roll my ankles, so maybe I don't really need them.

Running (9K) 45:08 [4] 9.0 km (5:01 / km) +310m 4:17 / km
ahr:170 max:199 shoes: Saucony Guide 5 Orange
Uni to Home. Not sure that my max heart rate was actually 199 as it wasn't during the most difficult part of my run. Most of the run was at 5 min/K, but the penultimate K I did in 4:15. Pretty good run and my hip didn't give me much trouble!
