Orienteering race 32:40 [4] *** 4.28 km (7:38 / km) +44m 7:15 / km
shoes: Nike Trail (Blue)
Armco Park Fast-O, set by Stryder.
Really fun courses. I had looked at them beforehand (for Steve), and they looked pretty easy, but still fun. I noticed that the map was probably not as easy as it looked---It wasn't clear from the map exactly what I should be seeing. The long course, Short, was more difficult than I expected---Someone at the start mentioned oxygen debt clouding his thinking (I can't remember who---sorry!) on the long leg, and my experience was similar.
I just eyeballed the first leg, and---check my GPS track---it took me almost 100m to get pointed exactly at the control. I was trying to run as much as possible, and I was really sucking air. (Way harder than my normal gym workout---I need to find my HRM chest strap!). I kept not taking the legs seriously until I finally got fed up and started really being clean out of controls. I still got drawn in by 9-10, where I took the road for a few steps before I turned back and went around the vegetation.
I really tried on the last split, but I was slow at either end, wasting at least a full second getting my shaking hand lined up with the Go and the Finish. I had 12, but there were a bunch of 10s and one 9.)
The first course took a lot out of me (still not feeling great), so I skipped the "Shorter" course.
