Orienteering race (GOC champs-Classic) 49:33 [5] *** 3.4 km (14:34 / km) +140m 12:05 / km
ahr:180 max:199 spiked:8/9c shoes: New Balance 477
Voortrekker Monument. 1:10000
The navigation seemed pretty simple. Before 8 the only hiccup was finding no.3's tag before I found the control which was about 20m to the east. No.6 was a little tricky as it was hard to read the vegetation. I was having a great run and was winning until no.8 my 2nd last control. It should have been easy but I battled to read the vegetation and the control was pretty hidden. I lost about 3mins which put me in 2nd place behind Salome in 46mins. Jess 3rd only found the tag at no.3 but somehow got an official finish.
Last year at both SA and GOC champs the W16 classic distance courses were 4.5km. The age other age categories that used to do the same course as us has changed too.

Orienteering race (GOC champs) 45:00 [5] *** 2.52 km (17:51 / km) +120m 14:25 / km
ahr:184 max:196 spiked:10/12c shoes: New Balance 477
At Hennops. 1:7500
I spiked the first 6 controls and was getting slightly annoyed because I was going slowly and didn't stand a chance if it was so easy. I was over confident to 7. My bearing went wrong but everything seemed to match up until I popped out on a main road and had to relocate. The rest were fine. I came 2nd. Salome won in 33mins! with Jess 3rd in 48mins.
I'm feeling a lot better. My legs felt a bit tired.

walking (Fotheringham park) 40:00 [1]
slept:7.0 shoes: New Balance 477
I'm feeling a bit better today so went for a walk with my parents. I was lagging behind a bit. I don't have much energy and my legs feel weird. I'm certainly not in the ideal condition for Champs so I'm going to focus on acing the navigation and pacing myself well

other (Inter house) 35:00 [3]
Played five 7min games. We only lost one. I'm feeling about the same. I ran around quite a bit because we played full field with 7 players but at least the games were short. Was coughing a bit afterwards

Note
(sick)
Boooo. I've had signs of this cold for over a week. My throat is sore and my nose is streaming. Really bad timing. I was planning on going for my last hard run before champs but I'll just have to rest and hope it goes away.
I'm playing inter-house hockey tomorrow and its not like I can sit out because we don't have an abundance of players. I'll try and take it easy.
I hope I don't make Alex sick as he leaves for Sweden tomorrow
