OK annual New Year's Day event. Mike set the courses at Rockhaven this year, and made a "dog bones" course.
I worked registration with Fritz and then changed clothes with just a few minutes to spare before the mass start.
Sandy, Bill and I started off in the same direction. I ran like hell because I was really cold (it was -6), especially my fingers. My mind was not into this. This seems to happen whenever I work registration. I get excited talking to all the newcomers (one of my Women in O from 12/23 came today) and I can't turn my brain back to O.
That's OK. I was fine with moving around in the woods today, and not being the best at O execution (or even training). Some days are just like that.
I enjoyed the challenge of the Dog Bone score format. I saw Sandy and Bill every so often, although they were running fast and I was walking and occasionally jogging. They both beat me, of course.
I had to really push it at the end, and I still was 30 seconds late. But I'm glad I pushed in to the finish, because I beat Paul by only 5 seconds.
