orienteering race 19:44 [3] 2.0 km (9:52 / km) +33m 9:07 / km
Sprint course at Hibernia. Worked epunch for a while then Nancy took over and I went out on the sprint first, figuring I'd never do it after a course. Very fun. I prefer the really short ones like this. A little sloppy on a couple of controls because the woods were a little green and the footing rocky so I went around and got off-line in a few places. Never so much that I didn't know where I was, just enough that it cost me 10 seconds here, 15 seconds there sort of thing. But really, really fun.

Green course at Hibernia. A very well set course. Some route choice legs, then several short legs, then a route choice, then some short legs, etc. Just lots of fun. One small error - overran a control by 20 meters - but clean other than that though I doubt I took optimal routes in several cases.
Note
After sitting in my car working epunch for a bit, when I got out and tried to run I had the same weird feeling in my leg that I had Thursday night like it just didn't want to work properly. But after a couple of minutes of jogging around it felt fine. I felt pretty good today running - the lingering congestion from whatever cold or virus I had didn't affect me. Probably helped that it was a really flat course. I didn't push really hard, but felt pretty srong throughout both courses, able to run whenever I felt I could in the rocks and the green. I never ran hard, but felt pretty smooth at times - pretty neat feeling.
