Orienteering race 1:47:40 [4] 9.8 km (10:59 / km)
shoes: Grid Omni TR (Saucony)
Running out of Medford High School on the new Pine Hill map. I wasn't feeling particularly fast or aggressive, and was pretty unmotivated in the final third of the course, which, with 28 controls, felt a lot like a 10km sprint, since the park is covered with trails. I thought Brendan did a good job of using what was there, but I couldn't get "into it." Kristin Hall blew by me right before the second road crossing, causing me to finally slid out of my slump and care again. I spent lots of the course trading controls with some foreigner; neither of us could shake the other for more than a few controls. I came out ahead, although if there were a few more controls, I'm sure it would have gone the other way. Glad to start the drive home with the kids (and Hannah for company) earlier than the main group.
