Orienteering race 43:05 [4] *** 3.85 km (11:12 / km) +36m 10:42 / km
shoes: Nike Trail (Blue)
Yellow course at Hueston Woods, set by Jon Rauschenbach.
Rainy, and not too cold---I ran in short sleeves and was comfortable.
I was having a bad day running the SportIdent download. I tried getting a file online about 9am (at home), but windows hadn't been connected since about April, and it downloaded 18 or 19 windows updates. I waited as long as I could, but when I got the backup computer packed and in the car, 4 of those updates had installed.
Then, I remembered that my good inverter had a problem out at East Fork about a month ago, and that I really needed to buy a new one. Fortunately, I had a small 80 or 100W one in my car. Unfortunately, it simply wouldn't run my computer. So I got out the old one and tried it---It was working, but I was scared it would fail the entire time. It was actually intermittent, and I kept having to disconnect and reconnect the battery clips to reset it. I did smell burning electronics a few times, but it held out until Bill Donnelly finished (that's a joke---he was the last one, but not by much).
Being short on time, I decided to run Yellow. Aidan had some trouble with it, and I wanted to check it out. (It was a bit hard in a few places.)
Jon set a really nice course---it really kept me on my toes. And it was nice to run in the rain.
{edit} Oh---another sportident "issue": When I plugged the USB Master into my backup computer, I needed to install the driver---apparently, each USB Master we own or use needs to be set-up separately on each computer. I need to label the masters and verify they each work on all the computers.
