Open 6 Orienteering w/Nut 55# pack We had planned to do some of the biking points as well but I forgot the trailer connector on my road bike :-( Since we didn't ride the dogs could have joined us but that obviously wasn't the plan so no way to account for it.
We had a great day in the woods though. Weather was great and the woods were mostly clear. Nut liked when we found candy at the controls. We did try and sidehill in one spot that was too steep and littered with downed trees. Otherwise, we had a good loop for how much we wanted to do.
I made 3 small errors. 2 were just misreading the map.
Ankle felt tweaked a few times. Having the pack slowed me up which was good. Otherwise, I would have wanted to run down more steep slopes which would have been asking to twist it more. The extra weight wasn't a big factor for the ankle I don't think, but maybe some lost agility/reactiveness.

Pandapas w/Zitch/Skip. Mostly flat because I didn't want to deal with too many downhills. Also mostly smooth trails. Rocks and roots were not my ankles friend today. Otherwise felt fine. Tweaked it a few times.
First time in and out of the upper lot in a while. Also first time, maybe ever, running up Lady Slipper.
Tweaked my knee somehow at the top of Joe Pye. I don't think I did anything but all of a sudden felt a twinge. Rubbed it out a bit and then slowly ran it out. Think it may have been due to my tights (???).
Wore gloves (35F) but warmed up pretty quickly and stuffed them down my tights.
