Orienteering (Snows Hill, Canberra) 1:22:00 [3] *** 7.0 km (11:43 / km)
spiked:4/6c shoes: VJ Bold O-shoes
A disaster of an orienteering race - completely underestimated the difficulty of doing this race in the heat (32 degrees) and just stepping off a long haul flight from Vancouver. Plus I had a cold and my back gave out less than a km into the race. Wound up walking almost the whole course, getting crankier and crankier as I went along. Admirable ambition to do the race, but should have been sensible and stayed in bed - not as tough and resilient as I once was :-)...
