Event: CSU Pine Hill A-meet
orienteering 38:14 [3] 4.3 km (8:53 / km)
weight:135.5lbs
CSU A meet, M21, so I had a shorter middle course in the morning and a longer one in the afternoon.
The morning was a bit discouraging. Quite warm (80?), so no zip, and a couple minutes of mistakes, and generally no fighting spirit. Not much to take pleasure in.
Ended up 17th out of 36, about where I belonged.

orienteering 53:00 [3] 5.8 km (9:08 / km)
Afternoon course. Maybe a little warmer. So still no energy, but I actually did a little better. Or maybe others just did worse. 12th this time, about 10 minutes behind. In the morning I was 10 minutes behind on a shorter course.
Still a minute or so of errors, mostly at #1. But despite not much energy I ran a smart race, doling out the effort to get the best result I could. And even ran a couple of small hills on the last long leg when I was about to walk and then just swore at myself and then just ran up without much difficult. You just have to have a little will power, and that's true no matter how old you are or what sort of shape you are in. Could have stood to do that a couple more times, could have made the top ten.
As it was, got a scalp (Zhyk). :-) When he didn't come in for quite a while I figured he was hurt, and you don't get a scalp for beating someone who is injured on the course. But I gather he just ran out of gas.
So a positive feeling for the afternoon.
