Orienteering - Bush (NOY1 Fairley Dams) 59:38 [3] 5.1 km (11:42 / km)
13c shoes: Bumblebee Hikers Feb 2014
Hard Medium. Nominal 5.1 km. 13 Controls.
Normal runners still soaked from Friday so wore hikers.
Obviously not designed for running and feet felt very very heavy for duration but they probably helped running through all the slushy mud. Felt like I was going to have massive blisters on left foot but somehow escaped unscathed.
As per splits made mistakes on 3 (too far east so just ran parallel to road until came to it) and 8 (checking out watercourses too early).
Came 13th of 27 so roughly my normal position in the middle of the pack.

Distance and time approximate.
Lynda did her first Hard Medium course solo (starting some time after me) but was sick so was struggling with hills. Rang her when I was finished and she was still on her way to #7 so I elected to meet her at #9 and 'assist/motivate' her back as required. Took me over 17 minutes just to run via tracks out to 9. Remainder of time was walk/jog between controls.
