last orienteering event for us for the series as footy training comes to the fore from next week...we both did the Orange 1 (3.3k course) with my shadow having a 7:48 head start...I will note that she forgot her compass...although it wasn't raining it was pretty wet underfoot and extremely humid...

a pretty good run on a slippery course...lingered a bit at 21 as I couldn't see the control even though I was only a a metre or two from it! (it was obscured by a branch as it lay against the rocks)...

I'm expecting a soggy ride home tonight - I'll be leaving a little early as I'm hosting a Thermomix demo - no need to cook dinner!
