Orienteering race (Yellow) 45:30 [2] *** 3.7 km (12:18 / km) +105m 10:46 / km
Actual = 2.81 miles and 82 climb
After yesterday, I didn't really think I was up for an advanced course, and when the relief epunch operator arrived back (thanks, Tori), I wasn't too keen on going out, so I kept my warm layers on and hunkered down for the duration. Then the 3rd shift arrived back (thanks, Amy), and since the temps had reached almost 40, I decided to go tootle around the rather long Yellow course that I had helped design. Goal was to be back by course closing, oh, and to not mispunch. Check/Check. Not very difficult navigation, though my one departure from an all trail route resulted in an error. Wasn't enjoying the long sloughs on the road, but in the end it was a day "in the woods", the rookie meet director did a fine job, as did the rookie course designer, and everyone was out of the woods by 3:15 (only 15 minutes after course closing), and I was home, showered, and in my jammies by 4:35. Most times, it can't get any better than that.
