Maxi 3-hour @ Whroo

Bush orienteering near Whroo - 3 hours to get as many controls as you can. I teamed up with Pete, and we planned an optimistic walking route, with a bail-out plan of running if we got desperate.

The terrain was gentle and open, the course was well set, and we hit all our controls dead on. Except we gave ourselves a bit of a fright with 55 minutes to go, and realised that we had a lot of distance to cover to get back in time. Time for Plan B. We made it with 3 minutes to spare, collecting 19 controls in all.

No complaints from the hip, and only a minor "hot spot" on the side of my heel. Have had a stuffy head for the last few days, though, which didn't help. Fortunately keeping active stops the worst of it.

15.7 kms in 2:57

went to dial in to post this on Sunday night, and found that my phone line was broken. Nice one Telstra.
