Running 24:00 [3] 3.05 mi (7:52 / mi)
shoes: Fittipaldi SN
Felt lazy today and I was even considering to skip today's run but at last minute decided to do 3.05M look from home. Garmin lost battery power within mile. Times estimated.

Orienteering race (Sprint-O at Black Creek) 13:00 [5] 2.3 km (5:39 / km)
shoes: Joe Dassin NXCS
Fast course.
I was able to execute it fairly well. There is nothing what I could have done regarding lose dog but I could have been more decisive going to #9. I still lack finishing speed. It's something I was excellent at and it's something I should improve it.
#1 Going to first I was reserved. My goal was to read into map before letting it lose. I double, triple checked where I needed to go, how it looked on map.
#2 Could not let lose on second yet since it was through woods with too many fallen trees to my liking and skill level.
#3 - Taking wide right seemed the only option. There was one option to cut corner just before flag but I decided to stay on groomed/mowed path.
#4 - Bushwhacking/grass-whacking through the field. Little hesitation once I got on trail how far I needed to go to on trail. Flag was behind the tree however I knew exactly where it should be since I spotted rock from 30 yards out.
#5 - going back on trail on the right till parking lot. It was easy to stop building where flag was located
#6 - run to next building. Straight forward
#7 - Just before flag there was unleashed dog that run towards me. Lost unnecessary time till owned leashed dog. I told owner to expect more runners coming through soon. Delay reflected in splits. Probably lost about 10 seconds or maybe more.
#8 - Left route choice. Straight forward.
#9 - Decision point - bushwhack/grass-whack through the field or go around. Somehow I did not have a desire to go straight even according to map it would have been the right thing to do. Run around on trail and cut the corner where it seemed appropriate. Once I got into grassy area I fell. Now looking back I would have run even more on trail and cut through grass closest to the trail.
#10 - pretty straight forward choice
Finish - Remembering that last time I lost a lot of time going from last flag to finish I tried to master all the speed what's left in me. It was still not fastest split time, so, I need to work on my finishing speed.
