Event: DVOA Wilson Farm Park
7 PM
Orienteering 18:08 [5] 2.41 mi (7:31 / mi)
shoes: Topo Terraventure 2 (red)
Stupid severe weather.
I had on my calendar a bike to and from Wilson Farm Park for the Summer Sprint race there, but I wisely cancelled the bike. Instead, I drove out and arrived just in time to wait under the pavilion for 45 minutes as the heavens emptied onto the park. With a lull in the lightening and rain I took on the longer course (#2) first. Very smooth with only one mistake, as I misread my position and ran the long way around the pond between 7 and 8. Rain returned shortly after the start but it didn't really hinder my work.

A very short break and I went back out onto the very short course #1. Nothing fancy here. Just beaten by Sam by 15 seconds - I blame it on the tired legs and tomato pie I had been eating.
Despite the terrible weather it was a really fun evening. A nice memory for those of us who braved the rain.
