Event: QOC Prince William Forest
11 AM
Orienteering race 1:21:56 6.83 mi (12:00 / mi) +767ft 10:51 / mi
(injured)
Not the best of days. Started out by realizing I left my shoes on top of my car and only one made it to the meet. The other is somewhere on I95. Luckily I had a spare pair of road running shoes in my car. Not preferable but they would work.
First control was perfect and caught Iliana. 3rd control not so much. I was realizing there were going to be broader features then I was ready for. I wandered a bit before realizing where I needed to go for 3. At 5 both Iliana and I overshot a little and had to back track. I didn't read the map correctly at 6 and was unsure if I was in the right spot before finding 7.At that point I caught up to Mark who had started well before me. I would pretty much be near him the rest of the run.
I ran a little west on my way to 12 and ended up on the trail through the cabins. I realized after that Mark had a slightly better route to 13 that used the road. 15 was a little rough. I tried to cut over to the road but kept veering north and running along it.
16 was where I injured myself. Stubbed my bad toe really bad and then fell right between Mark and the control. I told him to go and slowly got up and started moving. Took it easy the rest of the way walking quite a bit. Thought initially it hurt because of my toenail but further evaluation when I got home looks more like a sprain or broken toe.
Think I had a decent run up to 16 despite what felt like lots of searching. I also realized how out of shape I am. I was considerably slower by CP 13. Will start running again probably after Christmas.
