Orienteering race 45:46 [3] 3.93 km (11:39 / km)
shoes: Inov8 X-Talon

Last starter today. Cautious to 1; up onto the rock surface, followed the yellow into the rocks in the white. Long leg to 2 I decided immediately to go right, making sure I avoided all the green. Down the long spur to the dam, along the creek and in from the left. Hesitated a bit in the control circle. Clean through to 9, making sure I went out the the yellow when I could and also used the rock surfaces. Hill climb towards 10, then onto the track. Messed this one up a bit as I came in through the crappy white and should have kept going and used the rock surface. Silly route choice error which probably cost me a minute of stuffing around in the forest getting to the control. All rock surfaces to 11, straight forward to 12, then finish.

Not super happy with running speed today and felt I probably could have run faster to get in at 40 mins. Very nervous about being last starter and it was quite hot.

So, a pretty successful Easter. Lead increased to 65 mins over the 3 days. Came away pretty battered and bruised but thankfully both ankles are injury free. Can officially run W40A next year but not sure I want to race against Sandra Tarr-she's too fast for me!

Rest of the week will be spent catching up with friends before returning to Orienteering next weekend.
