Event: NavDash 6 - Guildford
Orienteering race 17:45 [5] ** 3.6 km (4:56 / km) +40m 4:40 / km
shoes: Brooks Adrenaline 9
Nav dash at Guildford
Went out as hard as I could to get away from the multiple sledges I was copping from tRicky, Juffy and Craig. Juffy was 1 min behind me at the start.
Saw Juffy heading to 3 on my way to 5 thinking "Is that still a minute?". No troubles at all through to 7 then I small error on the way to 8 when I was lucky to get stopped by the wedding party. As I turned around to change my route to avoid running smack bang through them I realised I had missed my turn and was able to correct. Clean through 9 and 10 (saw Juffy again, knew it was less than a minute this time).
Read 13 correctly only to not see the control. Slogged through the grass around to 15 thinking that it was VERY snaky country. Good through the rest and hard into the finish (down to 3:15min/km). Looked up to see the large Juffy frame coming down the hill to the finish - he'd done me by 30 seconds or so.
Fun course, lots of twists and turns. Thanks Shanel.

Giving Blood 7:19 [0]
Regular blood donation - figure this taxes the body enough to count as training!
Two more donations and I get a song and dance apparently.

Orienteering race 56:48 [5] ***** 6.0 km (9:28 / km) +255m 7:48 / km
shoes: Inov8 Mudclaw 330
Australian Middle Distance Champs - Marginata
M21E
A fairly clean run - no real wobbles at controls - just a bit tentative along the way. Happy with the route choices, except maybe the short leg to 12 where, as Tooms pointed out, left through the open stuff would've been much quicker.
Was a bit fortunate a couple of times to pick features from memory (of setting here a few years ago).
Fluffed the finish control having gone down to inspect it. I didn't take note of where along the tapes it was and got drawn a bit right by the end of the bunting, only to having Juffy taunting me from his vantage point.
Really enjoyed this course - I was in contact the whole way, no searching for controls. Beat one or two runners I didn't expect to, but fell to the might of Juffy by 31 seconds.
Still keen enough on Elites to aim at running the Middle and Sprint events at the Oceania Champs in M21E and run M35A for the longer days.
