The WA sun certainly shone at the Australian Orienteering Long Distance Champs. So much so that when the organisers realised the forecast was for mid 30's they moved the start times forward an hour to avoid the baking midday heat! A wise decision.
Today's competition was at Avon Valley (Quarry Road). An area we know well. It was first used in the 1988 National Orienteering Championships. Andy and I both ran in the 14A class. He came 2nd while I managed a win!
Katy and Ella both placed 10th in their age groups. For the W14 girls, ACT took out 1st (Sanda) and 3rd places (Mira) and in the W16A cousin Mia had a solid run to come in 3rd!
Andy took out the M50A and I walked around W45AS to come 4th. Cath managed to walk in a straighter line than I did, placing 2nd!
From the event we made a beeline to the beach to cool off and our evening was completed with a visit to a local brewery to celebrate a friend’s dad’s birthday. Nice night out.
