Easter day 3- the orienteering adventure continues.

Tonight Trevor was breathalysed for the third night in a row!

We were coming home from the Orienteering Australia dinner. We were very glad that we went as we saw Robin Uppill awarded the David Hogg medal for services to event management. (Well deserved)



Today was another long hard day of orienteering, and tomorrow is from the same arena, so we expect more of the same.  So far our bodies have held out well, with blisters and a few scratches and gashes the worst that we have to show for it.
Others have not fared so well.

Today Simon Uppill was beaten by 2 seconds by Matt Crane in their ongoing tussle for top male orienteer in Australia. I can't tell you the overall tally-but Matt is in front, so we are barracking for Simon to run a scorcher tomorrow.

Other stand out performances that I know of were the George girls who came in 2nd and 3rd in their class, and Lachlan Hallett who won the sledge again. He will be hard to beat tomorrow.

Here is my map and some of the views from today








The sledge runners deciding who wears what boxer shorts tomorrow. 





This is one very supportive Dad, Ian, who has driven over so that Max can compete.  Today we went out on a course, and had just come back. He was had just opened a special Easter card from his daughter-hence the lovely smile.
