Orienteering race 1:16:00 [5] 9.0 km (8:27 / km)
Woo Hoo!! Australian Long Distance Champion!! I certainly didn't see this one coming!!
I was pretty tired from coaching the Qld Schools team all week, and I didn't really get a chance to think about the race until that morning, which I think in the end helped quite a lot. Because I hadn't been running much in the last few months I figured my only option was to take it really carefully and avoid losing major lots of time in the rock. My plan worked and although I felt like I was going really slowly at times I managed to avoid making any significant mistakes.
What a great way to end the season!!
