Orienteering race 51:00 [5] 4.6 km (11:05 / km)
shoes: Spirit OLX (last)
Relay 1st leg. I knew it was forked but I still let others pull me off course. Then I started navigating on my own and things started to go better. I was probably last after 2 controls, bit I caught a couple of stragglers, ran through the arena with Mitch then joined Ernst on the way around the lake. I had some trouble with visibility in the vegetation, and with fine map detail. Maybe it will be better at 1:7500 tomorrow.
Addie was having a great run on 2nd leg but reinjured her ankle entering the arena and then turned it again entering the woods on the other side. She could barely walk back to dnf. That was it for our team.
During my run, I performed an emergency reduction of Allison's dislocated finger near the first control. It was a procedure my dad (an actual physician) had taught me years ago as a useful thing to know when you're out in the wild. I hadn't ever done it myself, but I knew it was a lot better to do it right then than to wait until she could get to a hospital. Fortunately, it worked.
