Event: US Team Fundraiser
orienteering race 16:10 [4] 2.9 km (5:34 / km)
shoes: Air Max Trail 09/05
Sprint at the Florida A mmet. Good run, good effort.
Up at 3:30 am to get to Boston to catch a plane to Orlando. Didn't think we'd make our starts -- we could have started late, but it's both more fun and also an advantage to have folks starting just before and after. Got to the meet site with 20 minutes to spare, a fast change, enough warm-up and then time to go.
Orienteering was easy -- very good visibility, subtle but good contours, the "woods" (sparse trees, a variety of not bad ground vegetation all on a very sandy soil) were fast. So the idea was to run as fast and as straight as possible.
This may have been the first time I've ever beaten my age (age vs. minutes per 10 km), certainly a while since my kilometer time had started with a 5.

Warm-up. First couple minutes felt terrible, but then the heart got going and I felt a lot better.
