WA Easter - Days 2 & 3

Sunday, 21 April 2019

Days 1 and 2 of the 3-day orienteering have been fun. The first day was a sprint around a fancy private school - we all had pretty good runs.

Today we were running in a granite boulder area about 2 hours east of Perth. I really enjoyed it. Jett ran really well to get around his tough M16 course, and Jon did fine. Unfortunately Zali rolled her ankle and couldn't finish, which is a shame, as the technical area would have really suited her. She will rest it tomorrow so that she can run in the events next weekend.

We're staying in a pub in the tiny country town called Beverly.  It's classic pub accommodation - situated above the bar with shared amenities and basic rooms.  The town is really nice - it's got a very big artsy feel for such a small place  - and amusingly it's also hosting some sort of amateur tennis tournament too - I haven't checked it out, but surely this town doesn't have more than a couple of tennis courts - it will probably take a month to get through the games!

The pub offers a pickup/dropoff service! 

Tomorrow is the last day of orienteering in this area, then we head back to Perth for some rest days.
