New Zealand Orienteering Championships NZOC 2025, held in Canterbury and hosted by Peninsula and Plains Orienteering PAPO.

Day 3 and the weather from the tropical cyclone gets worse, the Long was held about an hour north of Christchurch at Mt Cass - steep hills and gulleys, limestone rock and more forest - pretty demanding - great views though..this was the big one..

Longs are always challenging, but as one of the first starters, I managed to avoid the worst of the weather. Happy with my start and the long leg, but tired brain made me think contouring around to Control 8 was a good idea, instead of going up and over.. wrong - lost 10 minutes and wasted lots of energy going back through dark green. Finished in 8th (after being in 3rd at Control 5)

M55A - 11 controls, 8.5 km, 350 m elevation, many thanks to David, Tane, Jenni, Carsten and everyone at PAPO
