Orienteering race 3:51:00 [4]
shoes: La Sportiva Uragano
Raid the Rib on team Paw of the Viszla, with Tarno and Trav.
Tarno joined up as a sub for Hammer. The plan was to not break Trav for his big upcoming race. I was pleased we didn’t redline right out the gate. We got messed up with a pack in the Bermuda triangle- it was so lovely we had to do it twice.
We also didn’t have the most efficient plan for Pair’o’dice and the Matrix in hindsight and Tarno ended up doing 2 longer controls, but other than that and a bit of scrambling in Heart of Darkness things went well. The weather improved and the course got more interesting and technical on the East end. I was glad to have spikes, and our nav was clean heading West.
Nice to run into Bash, Dee and Browner who seemed to be enjoying themselves despite Bash’s bashed neck.
Our pace, nav and philosopy was more compatible than I had thought, and I really enjoyed a nice run in the woods with the boys. I felt good running.
Harps, Hansel and Mick were 3:01, the day after Hansel was 2nd at a trail 10k!
