Orienteering race 1:13:28 [4] 6.7 km (10:58 / km)
HVO event at Blue Mountain Reserve
So much fun! The woods were so so nice to run through, nice day, if a bit cool, and good terrain, little hills and rock and cliffs and marshes. Loved it!
Had a pretty good run around, not frantic, was trying to focus on good navigation, but that went way wrong on my way to 8, when I went 90 degrees too far around a swamp took going down the hill and seeing a big lake to make me figure out that one... oops!
And, although I wasn't pushing it flying through the woods, no ankle crunches! Woo! Legs still a bit sore from Thursday's race still- had to have a quick stretch break at 1 to stretch out the hamstrings too.
Brought along nearly the whole family- Dad, Mom, Stephi, Stephi's boyfriend Eric and Stephi's friend Nancy. Stephi did well on Brown, Eric and Nancy walked Yellow in good time and Dad nearly completed the Orange, despite breaking a rib around control 2!
Orienteering 12:00 [2]
A run around the last 4 controls of orange having a look for dad. Went out with Stephi, alternating navigating. Good fun, but dad beat us back in the end anyways.
