orienteering 2:07:00 [2] ***
shoes: Icebugs
Event Consulting for 2007 U.S. Championships at Prince William Forest Park, Triangle, Virginia. Most of this was slow jog or walk, since I was checking precision and detail. I didn't count any time (another couple hours) stopped and checking immediate vicinity of controls, making notes, etc.
trail running 5:23 [3] * 0.5 mi (10:46 / mi)
(injured) shoes: Icebugs
PWFP. short section of trail run. Unfortunately, I caught my toe on a root or stump & hyper-extended my other leg, pulling a muscle in the back of the leg where it attaches to the buttock (is that what they call the hamstring?) Anyway, it bothered me the rest of the day, but I continued to do some jogging, probably more than I should have.
Note to trail builders: you NEVER cut a sapling off at ground level... as the soil compacts and erodes, a trip hazard will be exposed. Experienced trail builders cut trees leaving a 3 or 4 foot trunk, then follow up by digging out the root ball (the taller trunk means that you don't miss seeing it & also gives leverage for prying/pulling once you've chopped thru roots).
road running 6:12 [3] 0.6 mi (10:20 / mi)
(injured) shoes: Icebugs
finished up the day at PWFP with a jog back to the rental car on a gravel road.
