Orienteering race 1:26:00 [4] 9.7 km (8:52 / km)
QOC Patuxent Blue - first orienteering after breaking wrist at Great Falls. Managed not to fall on it again - splint might have protected it adequately but better not to find out. No compass - having one would have saved me from my one bit not-actually-parallel error. That aside, after no running from Nov 25 through Jan 1, could hardly expect to be much faster than I was. Definitely was feeling unable to push as hard as I did at Great Falls, though spending so much time Saturday on my feet at Fountainhead can probably take some of the credit for that.
It was actually quite a nice day from 2 inches AGL to the top of the atmosphere. Just messy below that with the wet remnant of the week's snow. I feel for anyone running orange or advanced courses who didn't have at least aggressive cleats, if not studs as well.
