hiking 3:30:00 [1] 7.6 mi (27:38 / mi)
XC day at the new Fair Hill 5*
This is me arriving before the shuttles were running, walking out to the other end of the course where the 3* ends, and walking all the way back while watching the 3*. After lunch Amanda and I rode the shuttle back to the other side, which was approximately the middle of the 5* course, and then walked back along the course again watching the 5*. We were watching the dark clouds approach and checking the radar, and right after the last rider finished the skies opened up. Even though I was prepared with a raincoat and umbrella in my bag, I still got pretty soaked. My legs feel thrashed. It was also super hot for this time of year. This took place over 7 hours but we'll call about half of it moving time.

DVOA Hibernia - Green
This went surprisingly well considering my lack of orienteering (or really most anything) lately. The course mostly stayed in somewhat nicer parts of the park - the woods were still thickish at times, but there was a minimal amount of thorny stuff. I tried to stay at a fast hiking pace but didn't really run at all, and I didn't have any major navigation issues or any trouble finding the controls once I was close to them. I was not expecting to finish as far up the results as I did.
