12 PM
Running warm up/down 3:54 0.35 mi (11:09 / mi)
ahr:150 max:169 shoes: IceBugs
Token warmup. Is longer better? I would imagine so, except I already run out of steam after 25 mins.
Orienteering 1:13:00 *** 5.35 mi (13:39 / mi) +175m 12:23 / mi
ahr:163 max:184 spiked:13/14c shoes: IceBugs
Excellent course by Mike Keating at Yankee Springs.
My only quibble is that a flip map start with a skilled person starting immediately after gives them a heck of a clue what direction to go while they figure out the right direction. :)
1. Did well, stayed on compass, found the awesome creek, then around into the reentrant.
2. Crap exit, should have stayed more on line. Fun marsh to crash.
3. Crap exit again, saw the saddle between and picked the right one to go into.
4. Crap exit, but read terrain well and got back on. Hardest control to find?
5. A good exit? Wowser. My favorite leg. I decided to go up and over, eschewing either trail route. Easy to use last bowl/reentrant as AP and glide into the rentrant.
6 - ARGH. I hit the rockpile on the spur, and should have been easy peasy to hit, but I got sucked into the wrong reentrant, misread the hill, and hit the road. Where I rolled my ankle hard. Took another crack, nicked the circle but missed it again, relocated off the depression to the SW and walked on a bearing at it. Amateur hour! Five minute error. :(
7. Slooppy to trail, sloppy on trail, then good at the end when it mattered. Fun control!
8. Tempted to check out the cliff, but I was racin'. Saw it from the hill, which redeemed my route choice.
9. Fun leg, but I was getting tired, should have been faster. Nice woods east of the marsh.
10. Another great leg. Less great when I hopped a log, landed on my left foot, and rolled it again. Ouch! That made me cringe. And limp. Shoot, can I finish the course jogging? This hurts. Then, for good measure, wobbled it again.
11. Easy but cautious.
12. Crap exit, but a fast route even if too long.
13. Straight up, nice area.
F. Tried to hammer, but the Dow-Corning boys from Midland heard me crashing and just flew. I should have dug deeper, but their 10 m lead jumping to 20 m demoralized me a little, plus they were fresh off walking orange. Barbara says they are runners.
I had originally considered a short course afterwards, but I thought my ankle would appreciate rest.
