Winter Sprints - Race 4 - 2024

Rutherford College in West Auckland - always tricky, especially in the wet.
Got so excited jumping the fence to 15 - except I was going to 9. I also cut too much off the corner going to 20. Over-ran 26 too.. 15th place
4.3 km, 26 controls - thanks to Monique and team

Winter Sprints - Race 3 - 2024

Переглядів 22021 день тому

Race 3 @ Cornwall Park. Something completely different - a MicroSprint. No control descriptions, no control numbers, not even flags - just a super detailed (1:1500) map with EVERY feature individually mapped - precise control locations marked by a dot inside the control circle. Time penalties for mistakes - 60s if you miss a control and 30s if you punch the wrong control. So many trees. Super h...

Duder Regional Park - 2024

Переглядів 33828 днів тому

Duder Regional Park is about 40 minutes east of Auckland, overlooking the Hauraki Gulf and all the islands, including Waiheke Island. A great place for a walk and an amazing place for orienteering. Great views out over the ocean, but that means massive hills... but those views.. a wonderful mid-winter afternoon, blue skies and warm. It's not the hardest orienteering technically, but the elevati...

Winter Sprint Series 2024 - Four weekly races - most points at the end wins - every Saturday afternoon. Glendowie College in Auckland's east suburbs - smaller school, but lots of room for intricacy and mistakes.. as I found out.. Beautiful winter Saturday evening - shame about my orienteering tonight. I was the planner and set up a few traps - and I fell into my own trap and missed control 5 co...

Winter Sprint Series 2024 - Four weekly races - most points at the end wins (12th last year) Takapuna Grammar and Belmont Intermediate Schools were the location for Race 1. On Auckland's North Shore with magnificent views over the Hauraki Gulf to Rangitoto Islan, it's a map I've never run on before. Didn't stop to enjoy the views sadly, but you get the idea as I run across the field towards the...

The final day of the Kings Birthday series is an annual orienteering carnival - this year in Tasman. A map combining Takaka Primary and Golden Bay High School was a lovely finish to the weekend. Situated in Takaka - a great place to visit and relax. However, tired legs and tired brain led to a mispunch. Piles of construction materials confused me and I lost map contact when I thought I hit a de...

Kings Birthday series is an annual orienteering carnival - this year in Tasman, at the very top of the South Island - sunniest spot in New Zealand. The Long was at a private farm at Kaihoka Lakes at the very northern tip of the South Island - a new map and possibly one of the most stunning coastal areas in New Zealand. If you miss your catching feature, you end up in Australia. More karst rock ...

Kings Birthday series is an annual orienteering carnival - this year in Tasman, at the very top of the South Island - sunniest spot in New Zealand. The middle was at Canaan Downs South, at the top of the Takaka Hills (a filming location for Lord of the Rings). Famous for its geology, especially limestone caves and karst rocky outcrops. This was always going to be hard, especially for someone un...

Macleans College - in Auckland's Eastern Suburbs, Macleans is one of the largest schools in New Zealand - it certainly has some of the best views - out over the Waitemata Harbour and Rangitoto Island. A great sprint location. This race is the first of 5 in the Winter Sprint Series. A bit special because the planner added some off-road and bush for a challenge on top of the normal sprint course....

The map is part of Woodhill Forest on the West coast, an hour North of Auckland. This is a newly mapped area of forest, with some fast running combined with areas of green, ridges and coastal dunes. A bit of everything - pretty tough - a lot of people had a long, long day. Quite a few MPs and DNFs My first 5 controls were good, but 6 was pretty average - headed too far right into a green area. ...

North Island Secondary Schools Orienteering Championships (NISSOC) - Long - (public race) Mairetahi Forest, an hour North of Auckland - mix of terrain, and lots of elevation (that I luckily missed on this course, except for the walk uphill to the start) - didn't encounter any deer, but others did. Only had 30 minutes before having to drive a van back so did the shortest course that was availabl...

Second event of the Forest Season here in Auckland - this map is probably the hardest map here. Same location as the JWOC trials a few weeks back, but a long instead of a mid. A few little mistakes - should have compassed directly to #2 instead of following terrain, and all the tracks at #12 took a little time to get my head around. 2nd today winsplits: obasen.orientering.se/winsplits/online/en...

Te Putake o te Maunga - Crater Block - on the lower slopes of Tarawara, that famously erupted in 1886. A map not used in years - comments like "don't lose map contact - you will never re-locate".. and 'too many features to map so we have only mapped the main ones.." - you know this is going to be tough..and it was - I walked most of it - I felt I was lost for the whole course, although I found ...
