Orienteering - Park (#01 King Edward Park) 30:02 [5] 4.1 km (7:20 / km)
28c shoes: Slazengers 2012 MkA
Event 1 at King Edward Park. 28 Controls. Distance copied from others logs.
Came 18th of 68. So happy enough.
Usual mad dash with average of 1 minute between controls so little time to read map more than 1 control ahead.
Made mistakes at Control 5 (went too far north, ended up at road, bush bashed back), Control 6 (looking on S side of track rather than N) and Finish (like many others ... ran past it towards desk).
Lots of hills today meaning lots of sweat. Since the rogaine got the start of a sniffly nose so felt efforts a bit more than I would otherwise.
Similar comments to last event held here back in March 2011

But according to splits took out the honors in (the supposedly untimed ... but maximum of 1 minute) crossing the road from 2 to 3 in the fastest time of 16 seconds! Whoopee.
Day seemed to go OK organisationally with a few learnings for next week. Had to wait for Control collection so I would be ready for next weeks event. Finally left at 8 pm. So no competing for me next week.
This morning got up at 4:45 am and unpacked car of gear, sorted out the 30 locks, sorted controls into bunches of 6 for progressive distribution next week, and made up 6 'minimaps' for control placement / collection.
Need to make up / distribute a mud map for layout of the start so may drive in today via Boomerang Park.
