Long the scourge of those who can't navigate (and I speak on behalf of the majority of the club), yesterday's landmark decsion by the OANSW to scrap Red courses from 2012 onwards is sure to be welcome by all but but the navigationally competent.

Greg Barbour followed up his Oceania M45 title by winning the Australian Championships M35 title at Big Badja today. Run on the same area as yesterday's Oceania sprint titles, the fast granite terrain proved to be to Greg's liking despite the switch to 1:15000 from 1:5000.
In M40A, Jock Davis grabbed 3rd place behind Warren Key and New Zealand's Rob Jessup. Not quite King of the rocks, but a great recovery from yesterday's off-the-map performance.
In M50A, Michael Burton (pictured) had a cracking run, eventually winding up with 3rd place behind fellow new M50 Bernard Walker and the tough-to-beat Novacastrian Rob Vincent.
In the women's divisions, the run of the day came from Tracy Marsh who was 5th overall in W21E, 4th Australian, in a very strong field.
The rest of us all did good too.

Meanwhile, back in W40A, former W40 world champion Cath Chalmers led home a very strong field to win for Australia.

Just a week out from the NSW champs and M50 speedster Michael Burton spend today on a solo odyssey. Unfortunately his sly training efforts were busted by our Big Foot spies:
Morning:
Mike seen orienteering at Callan Park.
Michael leaves event, probably on bicycle.
Our mole on the railways says that he was later seen heading North, possibly leaving the train at Berowra.

Whilst most of the club was out at Cattai National Park wrappng up Metro League last weekend, Big Foot's Mary Fien won the long distance Queensland Championships by a minute (and four seconds) from Kim Beckinsale after a 23 km course. The first three riders were all between 1 hour 40 and 1 hour 50, whilst fourth place and beyond took over three hours.

"Angela Farrell sets interesting course for Waggaroos" read the OANSW headlines*.
(* the final did get covered later, but was beaten to the punch by SMH and this article)
Meanwhile the Sydney Mornig Herald managed this before the Rugby League results:
