Welcome to Fraser's digital orienteering map archive!

Did the 3 hour with Connor Cleary. 1st place 1570 point. We had a pretty clean run, just hitting some unmapped scrub at the end into 62 which forced us back up to the track and around. Got back with about 2 mins to spare.

A slow but safe start losing 30s to 1. Lost 30s to 8 heading right when approaching the circle. Lost 1:45 going to no 11, was going to head low and left but then changed my mind after seeing down the valley. Going right I caught two others and was distracted and untidy approaching the control. Lost 1:45 when picking the wrong gap in the green (distracted/following) and heading below to the right. 68:18 with 3 M20 beating me, but not too far ahead.

Running well but not navigating well. Lost 30s to 4 going around track to right, 2mins to 9 drifting left and needing to relocate. 30s when distracted to left at 11, 75s due to 90 degree error to 12 and 15s to the right to 15.

Lost over 4 1/2 mins in a time of 44:17. Second fastest on course 2 behind Georgia.

DNF. Finally hit the wall after all the orienteering in Tasmania. No energy to continue. Jogged and walked the first 4 controls then headed back.

Won M35. Fairly happy with run. Too high leaving 10, overshot stairs into 16. Lost concentration to 19, distracted by control on man-made feature in white.

Spiked number one but mis-read the control description and thought I had found the wrong number. Hadn't seen any rock features on the way so wasn't confident where I was and kept going. Must have lost close to 2 mins. Got the next few clean but tried to push too hard to 9, saw 15 on the way as planned but then thought I had climbed to the rocks above but was low. Lost over a minute, maybe two? Too low going to 10 and lost another 90s. Clean until the final control when I got too low and hit the track. Lost maybe 30s. Enjoyed the map and course, was feeling strong but as a result running too hard to keep in contact.

Lost 10s going to 1 while trying to read ahead for no. 2 and briefly lost contact. Lost time at 10 (didn't see straighter route choice to the left), 12 (didn't read descriptions and went round the back), 14 (right was slightly quicker coming into control) and was hesitant to 16 checking descriptions (although saved further time loss by checking). Was running well but couldn't read the map at the same speed to get flow going.

Our family drove from New Orleans to Houston for this event. Unsure of date but in 1990. The event was notable as Peter Snell was at the event and we had dinner with him after the event.
