Orienteering (AUS champs long) 1:20:22 [5]
Was good and had my glute stretch out/coffee stop on the way down to Slap Up Creek. Was still achey from the sprint before starting however, as expected really.
First 5 controls were control picking and went smoothly enough. I lost track of where I was exactly on the way to 6, but got there eventually. First really felt my leg on this control, and was the continuing theme for the entire run really. Just had no strength in my left leg to get me through the terrain, especiallywith all the fallen logs on the ground! Ran a full circle around no.8 without seeing the control, for my only real near-the-circle mistake of the run.
Other than that, my route choices were off on 14,15,and 16, as i tried to find cleaner running to give my sore left glute a break.
Really happy with my run and result considering my physical state. Grace and Hanny both had good runs and there's no way I could have beaten them on the day. Pleased to stay ahead of the rest of the field :)
Really look forward to returning to this area when I'm fully fit and on form!
