Running (dirt) warm up/down 4:00 [2]
slept:3.5 shoes: Trail NB 706 9D # 2
Warmed up a bit for the Flying Pig sprint by running from the car, across the road and along the building to the start location, and around there just a bit. Gorgeous day, blue sky and mid 60sF. Chatted with a few folks at start.
5 PM
Orienteering race 29:10 [4] **** 3.49 km (8:21 / km) +36m 7:56 / km
spiked:22/23c shoes: Trail NB 706 9D # 2
Sprint on Indiana University campus. Wow--23 controls!! And some tricky staircases and pass-throughs. I felt slower than "normal" from the start, understandable because I haven't been running much, but just kept moving. Once I had a control in sight I'd take a look at the next leg which helped me pick decent route choices, I thought (except one which was slow). The only "miss" was 9, where I thought it was in a corner ON the staircase so went up a bit before realizing that no, it was over the wall and tucked into a corner. Otherwise did well. Dick Neuburger started a minute ahead of me and I kept closing the gap. Managed to just squeak abead of Patty L, and Janet F had some problems, so a win today in F60(!). Tomorrow is another day, though, with an abundance of climb.
Note
Garmin measured 3.5 km; straight line was 2.7 and "75m" of climb -- climb may be overstated. Will download when we get home.
This was a lot of fun even if I couldn't move as fast as should be able to.
