Orienteering race 5:10:00
ahr:149 shoes: Brooks CP Green 2
RTH with Bash and Hingo. Good weather, great course.
Our pace felt a little lower this year as Bash wasn't feeling 100%. (Her nav was still great, of course). Lower HR average than usual, but some hard bits during towing. Some good towing opportunities which helped keep our speed up, including the haul up the final hill which ended up being a slo-mo sprint. We needed it after a penalty lap earlier, as we were *just* ahead of 3rd and 4th place masters as it turned out. I didn't do any towing off-trail up the steep hills though, and we didn't drop our pace later in the race, just kept it pretty consistent as we moved up through the teams.
I did manage our only real nav blunder. Hingo was strong, even though he claims he doesn't train- maybe he doesn't need to?
We ran into Goose, Rocky and Scooby in the first half a fair bit. Good to see them out there.
Big congrats to Slice, Griz and TVP, who ruled the course. The Bobkittens clobbered most of the male teams as usual, and the Cameron sisters took home prizing too.
