The 5th and final day of the 2010 Xmas 5 Days was held yesterday at Dumaresq Dam, 20Km NW of Armidale.
With many competitors heading home after the event,start times were from 7:30am. This also helped offset the prospect of the highest temperatures for the week in Armidale, with a peak temp. of 29 deg C expected for the day.
With no major terrain difficulties or complex map detail to contend with, it was up to the competitor to have as clean and quick a run as possible around the Dam.
The Day 5 results can be found here, and the Day 5 splits found here. The overall results for the 5 day competition (best 4 days to count) can be found here. RoutGadget for all 5 days are now available, and can be found on the event website here.
The Orienteering Association of NSW thanks Northern Tablelands for organising this years event, and also thanks Queensland's Eric Andrews and Liz Bourne, and the Bullecourt Boulder Bounders club for their support in organising the Day 2 and Day 4 events. Special thanks also go to Dick Ogilvie as event coordinator, and to Ron Pallas for almost single handedly manning the finish tent for all five days.
