Run warm up/down 20:00 [3] 2.0 mi (10:00 / mi)
Estimated time and distance. Felt a bit sluggish at first but better after dropping off my warm-up jacket. That's what the warm up is for I suppose.
Run race 23:30 [3] 5.0 km (4:42 / km)
Ugh. Terrible. Why didn't I reschedule this for a fully healthy weekend? Mile 1 was actually quite good. 7:05 and felt good. Perfect. 2 minutes later I'm hacking up a lung and choking on mucus. Gross. Shortly past the turn-around, started feeling pukey and backed down a bit. Got passed by some people in last mile which is the opposite of my usual. If this were a "run one mile at your desired 5k pace" race then I would have done awesome. Declined the finishers medal.
Run (Orienteering) 1:21:45 [3] 6.5 mi (12:35 / mi)
Maybury "goat" course - this means you choose to skip any one point.
Happy to be doing something at a more relaxed pace. The weird thing about this was that it was a mass start where we didn't get to see the maps until they said start. I've never done a non-score-O meet with a mass start before.
Was actively trying to not follow people on 1 and somehow went in a little early and saw 6 first, but realized I had to keep going west to hit the right depression. Grabbed 2 and 3, went to 4 and kept going around what I thought were green sections of thick brush like "it must be right around the corner" Almost gave up and made this my goat, but someone said that they got it "right back there" and I decided to give it one more go. I got it pretty quickly this time. Did well after that… decided to skip 14 because it looked rather indistinct and it was out of the way. Went too far to the south on 18 and missed it, hit the trail, followed the trail a little to figure out where I was on it, backtracked and went right to 18. Hit the last 4 right on and I'm told came in pretty close with "the pack." We'll see when the results are posted. I was pretty tired, but managed to run it out most of the time at a slow to moderate pace. Only tripped and fell once.
