Adventure Race 2:15:42 [4] 23.7 km (5:44 / km)
Not a very clean race at all.
Fluffed #7 after riding past it and downhill and then back up hill to get to it.
All of the foot-O stuff was okay, although a little messy looking for the flat controls that were hard to see in some spots.
A few wrong turns and I was eventually at the tunnels. Then my mind went blank and I couldn't make much sense of the map or any of the info under ground. Luckily we had tour guides and the time element was removed.
No idea were I finished in the pack, but it wouldn't be good.
Orienteering race 23:53 [4] 3.5 km (6:49 / km)
shoes: Brooks Adrenalin GTS
Late start on the long course at Black Swan Island.
A bit left a #2, but figured that I was so went right once I'd hit the track.
Went in too low at #3 only to see it waving at me from above.
Smooth enough through to #8 were I circled around a bit of green stuff that was hiding the control. Headed straight for 7 instead of 9, but corrected soon enough.
Must have missed 12 by 2m to the right, hit the track, did the headless chook for a few seconds before convincing myself I was right the first time .. and was.
All smooth through to the finish. Tried to impress Juffy with my "old man who is very tired shuffle" as I sprinted past him to 20. Punched the extra control before 21, even though it never felt right, so I wasn't surprised when it wasn't.
Good map. Good course. Not a good idea to run this after the AR.
