Orienteering (Sprint training) 1:00:00 [3]
Morning session at Radford College.
First we did a nice warm up with drills etc. Then we were put into groups of three and there were 10 legs on the map. We had to do one leg hard and then make our way to the next start, and there was a fair bit of rest between as we waited for each of the groups to get to the triangle before we went off again. The legs were pretty tricky and we had to hand our map in at the end of each so it was just like starting 10 courses, with added pressure of racing the other people. Super good training. Then afterwards we got the option to run the legs as a course, I think it was about 2km?
I only had my watch on for the first part so the time is pretty rough.

Orienteering (Sprint Relay) 31:21 [3] 3.2 km (9:48 / km)
Sprint Relay around ANU. I was paired up with Mel, we smashed it ;)
There were two courses, 2.2km and 1km. I went out first and did the long, I was pretty happy with it navigationally and I had Hugh right behind me the whole time so I was trying to go at a reasonable speed so I could come back in front of him. Then I went out on the short after Mel came in from hers, and It was alright apart from some hesitation at the start. I don't know my times for each course, so this includes the time for Mel to run her short leg too.
