orienteering race 27:48 [5] *** 2.6 km (10:42 / km) +50m 9:45 / km
20c shoes: Brooks Ghost 11
DVOA Charlestown Township Park - Sprint 1
A small but fun new park. It was raining the entire time, sometimes pretty hard, and also sometimes with wind. The cooler weather plus the open terrain meant I could run and push a little bit more than I have been. Went a little bit the wrong direction from 4 to 5 but quickly corrected, same with 18 to 19, something about that area was a little screwy with me all day.
Should have worn spikes, didn't consider the slipperiness just the openness. Never really slipped, but I was being careful down hills.

DVOA Charlestown Township Park - Sprint 2
The second sprint didn't have controls, just epunch boxes staked into the ground by a small pin flag. I did really well with getting to all the correct trees except a little screw up from 15-16, same area where I had mistakes on the first course. Control 13 was under the bridge, and I went to the wrong side of it first, then checked the other and found the box was already under a few inches of water. When I got back I told Sam and he went out and moved it up the bank a bit. Squeezing through the little gap in the OOB between 17 and 18, stepped into about a foot of water in the corner of the parking lot. Not that it really mattered, everything was soaked by that point.
This was one course where having SI Air may have been helpful. Ever since the sciatica, bending over is not as easy as it used to be (sometimes in the morning if I drop something I have trouble picking it up off the floor) so I probably lost time at each box compared to some others.
