cycling (commute) 50:00 [3] 16.0 km (3:08 / km) +110m 3:01 / km
Tested out my new "Witches britches" in the rain on the way in. Very neat, negligable trouser leg pull compared to my over-pants style long waterproof pants.

orienteering 44:12 [4] **** 6.0 km (7:22 / km) +190m 6:22 / km
shoes: Inov8 X-Talon 212 (#3)
QB3 Day 3 - middle distance, M40
Intense - a lot of legs about 250m in the steep rock-strewn terrain. Just messy, no big mistakes.
Looks like I had a purple patch winning all the legs 13-17.
The first aid ambulance was packed.
God another 6 points for speeding on the way home - if only the terrain hadn't been so rough, I could have got rid of the excess speed on the course.

orienteering race 1:13:14 [3] **** 9.5 km (7:43 / km) +260m 6:47 / km

QB3, Day 2 M40.
Brilliant area and good courses - using a lot of the JWOC map I hadn't been on before.
A very clean run up to #10. I thought I left the control the right way but must have run N instead of W, maybe following red line from 6>7 ? Anyway quickly realised I had lost contact, but took an eternity to relocate, lst about 8 minutes :(
After that I was a little bit scrappy, but still enjoyed the run - almost as good as the tin mining at St Helens.

orienteering race 14:29 [4] 2.7 km (5:22 / km) +50m 4:55 / km

QB3 day 1 - Sprint
Great little bush sprint area, Brummagen creek - loads of weird earth shapes, probably flood deposits and erosion from nearby Macquarie River.
Pretty clean run map was odd at 6/7/8, so I hit 8 very soon after 7, and spent the rest of the course wondering if I had mispunched at 6.. then I did mispunch the last control. Dumb.
Had the makings of a very bad day - 400km drive, busted or seeding (3 points doubled to 6 because its a long weekend), and to to it off Lyra decided she had her tummy bug back in the evening - will we just get in the car tomorrow and drive 6 hous home ?
