First orienteering of the year

986At the weekend, we went to our first orienteering event of the year (and Christine’s first as a W35!). I went round the 2.9km yellow course with the children which, when combined with the 800m to/from the start/finish and the hills proved a bit of an epic and we ended up in our usual position in the results. Other than a little pre mid-course snack whining from Emma, both children seemed to enjoy themselves although Duncan only climbed out of the buggy to punch at each control. I went for a run afterwards, sticking to the paths as my ankle still hasn’t fully recovered nearly three months on. I’m now on anti-inflammatories to try and remove the last of the swelling from the joint and hopefully allow the physio and exercises to do their work properly.

    Dave,
    you should move to Auckland and try the summer series. Surprisingly at the last
    event the girls did they came joint 2nd. I won’t mention how I do when the girls
    aren’t around but it is closer to Emma’s position than I would like.

    cheers,
    Neil

    Dave,
    You can tell Emma that we have rejoined her at our usual place
    in the ranking.

    Cheers,
    Neil
