orienteering race 1:46:03 *** 8.9 km (11:55 / km) +419m 9:38 / km
ahr:146 max:163 spiked:19/20c shoes: Inov-8 Oroc 280 #2 (red)
Gunstock, Red, 6.4 km, 9th.
I set up the results computer, and things appeared to be all in order with Pete ready to take over the duties of entering the participants' data, so he and Lex encouraged me to go out early. Things started out pretty smoothly, and I caught Dean R just before #2. He went off in the wrong direction after that, and I got ahead. Approaching #6, the mosquitoes got really bad, and I considered quitting, but then it started to rain (and at times it was raining pretty hard). That was good as far as the bug situation, but not good for my glasses, which need another coat of Rain-X, and they were fogged up pretty badly for the rest of the course. I spiked the feature on #7, but failed to see the control (GPS shows me within 3 meters), so I went for a five-minute wander, during which time Dean and Kristin caught up. Never saw Dean again after that, but Kristin and I were together off and on (sometimes on different route choices) through #15. My route choice on #16 may not have been so great, and I also screwed up the attack, mistaking a small trail on the map for an intermittent stream, and wasting a few minutes. The rest was fine except that on the way to the finish I popped out of the woods onto a trail and the place where my foot came down was not solid footing and I crashed pretty hard. At least I didn't turn an ankle, but I did limp the rest of the way in. The sun came out shortly before I finished, and the rest of the day was nice. Almost DFL today.
