Orienteering race 15:16 [4] 2.04 mi (7:29 / mi) +37m 7:05 / mi
SART Round 3 - North Seattle College
Ah, and now many people going a fast speed! Some muddling around in the first set of controls in the confusing bit, Will came out of it ahead, then me, then Ian C. I closed a bit on Will, but that required going pretty hard, so didn't feel compelled to make a go for the pass. Ian C. gained on me and passed at around control 15.
I was very confused about where I might find 16 (low or high) based on running so close to my oxygen limit, so have to say, basically followed the men folk to that one, hoping they were more sure than I. For the final loop I was hoping to make up a bit of time, maybe make a bid for 2nd, but nope, just kept losing a few seconds. My time for 3rd in my heat was slower than Graeme Rennie's in his, so into the 10-20 bracket for tomorrow.
But a fun fast race, great to be pushed! Elise, Tyra and Kseniya are all also in the 10-20 bracket to decide the women's win tomorrow. (Although I suppose Tyra is actually in the junior category.) Game on!
