Orienteering (Aus Long champs) 1:48:09 [3] 15.0 km (7:13 / km) +425m 6:19 / km
shoes: Brooks Cascadia (green)
Reasonable run, didn't see anyone till Craig appear a few hundred m behind at 6. No mistakes early on, which I think was a combination of the slower terrain, the scale, and karma from the earlier events.
Very slow to get over the fence+green between 4 and 5.
Took the track to 6.
Took the valley route to 8- No Jim I don't think there was an alternative.
Very slow high route to 10: Came over the top of the spur immediately south of 9. Craig and Seb caught me here.
Josh caught us at 14, but we dropped Craig.
Dropped Seb and Josh on the way to 15 (route choice challenge?)
After being inspired by Bryan, ran over the hill to 16.
Seb caught back up at 17 where we both fumbled around on the wrong knoll.
Started to slow down here.
Jogged through the paddock section.
Blair caught up at 26. Lost steam re-entering the paddocks for the final leg.
Didn't expect much from today (being a long distance), but felt I was reasonably mistake free (just the one at 17). Need to work on speed and general fitness.
Nice to see that the top 30 were all within 20 minutes. But I guess it was a fairly short course.
Would have liked to see a route choice leg though.
