Orienteering race 1:27:57 [4] 6.9 km (12:45 / km) +107m 11:50 / km
Local event at Peaceful Valley. Not a stellar day for navigation and, after hurting my knee on the way to #10, not a stellar day for running, either.
I started after Brooke and after messing up on #1 and #2, I figured I wouldn't see her out there. I did see her after #5, but she was on her way to #6 and I was too far down the hill, still on my way to #5. Argh! I caught up to her again at #8...she had more issues than I did there, but then I took a stupid route choice to #9. Trying to make up time, I went a little too fast down a cliffy steep hillside and did that thing where I bent my knee way beyond where it likes to bend. I had that sweep of pain and then wave of nausea come over me. After that, I felt like Quasimodo limping along the rest of the course.
I saw Brooke across the field on the way to #10, but she had a much better line and beat me to it. After that, I was behind her the rest of the course. I was very glad for it to be over so I could stop moving and rest my knee. After I got home, I iced it for a bit...which I know some people say is bad, but it feels so good. I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings.
