orienteering (race) 45:18 [3]
flying pig, bear creek scout camp, green m50
notable stuff:
after talking in past with nadim, dave onkst, and today with the guy parked next to us, bought a pair of the old fart half reading/magnifier glasses, instead of looking at a slightly blurry map and using magnifier. they're great, a bit getting used to but it helped, looking down at footing below is odd.
i know this is going sound like a real weenie, but i haven't been doing hardly any training, so there was mucho suffering, but i like it. walked up nearly every hill or run several steps/walk, repeat. running felt dreadfully slow, and i was gasping for air the whole time, but the good thing was navigating was clean, maybe a few dicey route choices,but i avoided any dreadful mistakes that usually haunt me. the open runnable grueling terrain is what i like best.
on 1,hated crossing the river within the first 2 min, i cant stand getting wet like that.
to 4; actually had a thought that taking trail all the way down then contouring across to the rootstock, it'd be hidden behind, so i attacked off top of hill and could see it below, a happy moment !
to 16 went straight to river then along stream looking for place to cross and ended up crossing between the shooting range symbol (which i thought was a sailboat) and control, went in water up to waist and had to crawl up the cut bank, ugh.
reviewed splits/routes with BP and isabel after.
