orienteering 1:25:59 12.59 km (6:50 / km) +156m 6:26 / km
ahr:147 max:173 24c
Ft Lev Adventure orienteering. Score with some random elements thrown in (you got a bingo card and had to get the controls that were listed on your card, but the cards weren't all the same). The map is not a real orienteering map, but is also a good bit better than a normal adventure race map.
I had low expectations. I did not sleep well last night. For some reason, my left hip was aching (it seemed to start when I was watching the basketball game). The discomfort was enough that I tossed and turned a lot. I finally took some ibuprofen around 3:30 and got some sleep. I still felt sleepy when Sandy picked us up in the morning. With that background, I decided to jog around the course at something above an easy jog, but below a race effort.
I also had some very weird stuff with my right foot. There were two times when I was running along, feeling fine, and then the top of my right foot started hurting. It went away after a few minutes. Very strange.
Ft Lev Adventures does a good job as always (even if an ice cream at the finish wasn't needed in the chilly 48F temps). I had two favorite control locations:
1. The guard tower inside the walls of the old prison. It is always fun to run in through those big heavy prison walls.
2. The Berlin Wall - Ft Lev had a chunk of the wall imported from Germany.
Fort Leaveworth would be a great location for some sort of urban sprint map and a national event of some kind. I think permission would be a chore and getting people on the post is a pain, but the area is interesting.
