Orienteering race (Day 2) 59:44 [3] 4.67 km (12:47 / km)
shoes: Inov8 X-Talon

Very cautious to 1, just to make sure I got it cleanly. A little high but I saw it in the gully. Across the rock surface and clearings to 2, on a compass bearing to 3 but drifted left and confused myself when I saw the Elite change over area. Slow and steady to 4, completely annoyed that I had made two mistakes in a row. Long leg to 5; dropped straight to the fence, past the dam to the fence junction. Used this as my attack point, up over the spur and counted off the rock surfaces. Must have drifted off to the left as I came out in the main watercourse rather than the small one running off the side. Biggest mistake of the day here and ran around like an idiot trying to work out where I was. Worked it out and found the control but probably wasted two mins plus. At home sitting on the couch, the best way would have been to cut across the paddock and follow the rock surfaces around from the left. Clean through to 10, although the slog up the hill from 7 to 8 was hard going. Bit scrappy finding 11 in the thick green, straight forward to 12 and finish.

Certainly not as pleased with todays run. Too many small mistakes which in total probably cost me more than 5 mins. However, the other runners in W35AS made bigger mistakes and my lead has now stretched from 30 mins to 47 mins. I can hear the word 'bandit'.
