Orienteering race 19:16 [4] 2.4 km (8:02 / km) +80m 6:53 / km
Went with F40 today and ran the second of the Sprint courses. This was my first sprint ever and I thought it was alot of fun! Again, found everything well, with just a few slight veerings off course. I think the worst part was the run-in from the last control. It was very muddy, wet and bumpy. I was the third woman on this course, behind Peggy and Anna S-S, so I felt good about that.
Orienteering race 45:00 [4]
Okay, I wasn't even supposed to be logging this right now. I was the last leg of the QOC-2 team, running the Red course. Well, after standing around for a while watching and waiting and listening to the feedback from everyone who had already been out, I had pretty much decided that if the last leg had to be mass-started, I wasn't going to go out. So, the last leg was mass-started around 4:40 (so late!), and I didn't go with them. Only to have my third-leg runner, Vic Culp, come in about 5 minutes later, looking so excited and happy to have done so well on his leg. I got caught up in the excitement, quickly took off my jacket, grabbed my compass and e-stick, and took off. Well, after about 4 controls, I realized I was not ready to run the entire course, so I ran through Control 6 and then headed back. I think the people who were waiting for me were very happy with that decision! Headed back to the hotel to watch George Mason lose, but happy with their final results.
