Orienteering race 45:00 [5]
Aus relays. 1st leg. Got a good start but then made a dumb mistake at 7 and lost a couple of minutes. Was just behind jas coming through the spectator control but then didn't see her after that. Got a bit off line and missed one of the crossings and got totally stuck in the green. Came in about 10 secs behind jas.

Orienteering race 1:01:59 [5] 9.5 km (6:31 / km)
Aus Long. disappointing race. was never going to be particularly quick, and didn't really have a lot of energy left after a long week, but had hoped to at least hold things together navigationally. instead I managed to blow about 8 mins in the last loop and turn a semi-respectable result into another crap one.

Orienteering race 20:03 [5]
Aus Sprint. Completely awful weather - horizontal freezing rain which made the rock slabs around the coastline super slippery and dangerous. it was a pity about the weather, cos the area was awesome and would have been a great day out if the sun was shining.
the first control was really tricky - mainly to adapt to the scale in time to pick the entrance to the coastal rock slabs. I thought the mapping around the rock was good - simplified well so that it made sense at speed (not that there was much of that) and consistent.
I got through with no real mistakes - just not quick enough to make much of an impression on the times of the fast girls. pretty happy with my place overall - very good for me in a sprint!

Orienteering race 49:55 [5] 4.9 km (10:11 / km)
Aus middle. Complete lack of fitness coming into these races meant that I was going to have to prioritise to try and get something ok out of the carnival. With this and the sprint as selection for the nz world cups I figured it was one to go for, particularly a it was a bit shorter and very technical.
Got a good start and was lucky to get some very hidden controls early on. Very clean until 14 where I vagues out and took 3 hours to find the ditch in the green. Lost about 3 mins here. Was ok then until the long leg where i died on the hills. Then made a stupid mistake cos I couldn't understand the map in the clearing. Pretty happy with second. Definitely better than expected.
