Orienteering race 55:12 [4] *** 5.6 km (9:51 / km)
spiked:11/13c shoes: Mudclaw O+340
Even though the temps did not climb to a reasonable number the shining sun made me forget about the cold. It was nice to be outside.
I was brought back to the reality of the cold when I decided to cross the swamp from 11 to 12. The water was crystal clear and I could see bottom in many places. When I had to step in water I aimed for the sand - hoping it was a bit more stable - but it was still pretty soft and I was in well past my knees. Fortunately I was able to keep my shoes.The course was well laid out and I had only a couple small hiccups. The course also got into some areas of Camp Arrowhead, which was new for me. Actual distance run = 4.8 m
