orienteering (race) 1:15:58 [3]
flying pig, garr hill long, green m50
got off bus 2 min late and went straight to second call up line, no warmup or potty break
like yesterday, walk uphills, grunt the rest out.
most routes straight, which is about all i can comprehend ! with some slight deviations here and there
notable stuff
because of panic start, almost made 180 degree error at start, so very cautious, sort of sloppy
to 2 went up too high because i think theres an unmapped rootstock, but looked down the slope and saw control. Bill Pullman made same error.
on 3, close to control the large depression was a pond and it freaked me out, stopped to see if i was off track, nasty prickers to the control.
after punching 4 UGH, had something in bottom of rt foot, stopped sat down, took off shoe, took out insole, messed around with compression sock, cleaned out, relaced both shoes, i'm sure i lost a minute, maybe a bit more, didn't think it'd cost me, oopsie.
straight to 10
gasping for air climbing to 11 there were 4 or 5 people wandering about, seemed low, luckily saw the hunters stand, and knew it was further up, i think they all saw it after me and another person near it punched.
12 was the problem, went a bit right of straight and down the small spur between to 2 larger ones, slowed up somewhat to make sure where i was, was really suffering. never even saw the fast route down the road past the control and back to it, ugh.
reviewed w/ bp and isabel again.
