Orienteering (greenbelt blue) 1:12:33 [3] *** 8.3 km (8:44 / km) +120m 8:09 / km
shoes: O shoes: Falcons04

A beautiful day out but I was overdressed. It was cold in the morning but warmed up a lot on the way down. I changed my shirt but was to lazy to change out of my winter tights.
I haven't been getting much training in recently so felt slow. I was also shadowing Dave Hauver so I wasn't in any hurry. Tried to keep moving. Looking at the route gadget, the quickest route was straight in every case regardless of the green.

Orienteering (shadowing Dave Hauver) 1:30:03 [3] *** 7.0 km (12:52 / km) +120m 11:51 / km
shoes: O shoes: Falcons04

Shadowing Dave Hauver on a Blue course. I wasn't sure how long I was going to last. I was good on the downhills but the uphills were tough. I was starting cramp up about 1/2 through. Fortunately Dave was having some difficulties which allowed me to stop and rest. I also waited a few times while Dave did a short dog-leg. I finally had to bail at control 13. I walked to control 16 to wait for Dave. At control 16 I sat down and waited. While sitting I tightened up big time. I stood up and strethed for a bit until Dave got there. Dave continued running and I just couldn't keep up. I had to say see-ya dave. I thought I could take a different route and catch up to him but I couldn't.
