As usual I wasn't fit and somehow Penny at least appeared to be. A great effort considering all the hard work she has been doing to get through her paeditatric exams. While I was down in the bottom half of the top ten, Penny stared with a 4th (long), 3rd (sprint) and a victory in the middle. She was successful then in defending last years title and became New Zealand's second most "winningest" elite woman with seven titles.
I had some good battles with the likes of Brent. I am definitely going to get fit now though (I am sure Brent will too;-)
Great times though and an awesome reminder (and kick up the bum) about the great friendships and times we have had in orienteering, long shall they last.

Hey Jamie. You've got the legs of a Rugby player. Yhe Hurricanes need players like you. You're in the wrong sport mate.
Congratulations to Penny.
I am very busy but enjoyed your last few postings on Olivines and Tararua. The Olivines is tiger country and had a few epics up there. I think we did a first ascent of Posidein or its neighbour in 1967 from Park Pass, I loved the Forgotten River, Cow saddle, Fohn Saddle etc. Magnificent country.
Keep the postings coming. Bob
Hey Bob

Yeah Aspiring is great. I wouldn't mind being a South Islander again.
