Mountain Biking 7:00:00 [1]

Setting controls and flags at Peterdine S - two of us put out 53 controls, about 8mins per. Luckily we could ride to all of them. Spotted a vagrant 106 which I spiked the following day doing the KillaAvon.

Road bike (Floreat Renegade) 1:26:00 [5] 46.2 km (32.2 kph)
shoes: Amiata Torino
Tooms, Ian, Chris, Shane, Ricky! and I. Very dark morning - fog made it hard to see, roads slightly wet, and add to that Tooms' eye piercing landing strip strobe light grade rear light. It was better once I took my glasses off.
I had a late night and was a bit tired so just tried to hold on. Finally rode the Mosman Park hill properly - caught up and stayed behind Chris and Ricky in the first half. Then after turning left and calling out to Ricky that it's a left, I got ahead of Chris, he tried to counter but I got out of my seat and shook him off like a fly. Then kom victory except for Tooms sneaking by right at the end to the "actual top". I'll give him that one since this may be his last FR ride for a while.
UWA sprint unfolded nicely except that I didn't know a Landcruiser was drafting me and made a close move past me for second place behind Ricky right at the end. Need to remember to look for cars here.

Very nice evening for a paddle. Totally still and fairly warm. Got my pace down to 4:46 for an instant. Did not have enough time to do the T2 paddle again.

Event: Julimar

Orienteering race (Julimar) 1:26:34 [4] 9.99 km (8:40 / km)
shoes: X-Talons 212
H2 course. The first half was fun, the bush was nice. I kept in contact with the map well and hit the first control spot on. Saw Craig coming by to 3 but then never saw him again. Took the road option to 6. Then crossing to the E side the bush became a lot scratchier and somewhere around 8/9 it turned to sandpaper (next time no shorts!) and my motivation dropped. This is also where I made my biggest mistake - ran down the right spur from 8 but once in the gully of pain where all the low scratchy stuff was I failed to take the right bearing going back up and ran up the wrong hill. Found a track that I concluded was unmarked and continued up a bit until a realised where I was. The rest went fairly well. Retired hurt from the sprint once I saw the map.
