Running warm up/down 20:00 [1]
shoes: Puma narabota
longer warm-up for the 5km O course, still insufficient.
Orienteering 41:15 [4] *** 4.7 km (8:47 / km)
shoes: Puma narabota
Ran-It Granite Middle course (Patapsco Valley State Park):
went mostly well, except that it wasn't particularly interesting for me in terms of technical difficulty. I pushed myself to run hard and my head was catching up on this map and course, so that made me happy. I was even noticing my "skills", the ones I need improvement on, like running downhill and not looking at my map (i.e. wasting precious time).
Lost 3 1/2 minutes to Sam, which is a bit much for a middle distance course..
