Event: Great Brook Farm
Orienteering race 1:08:21 **** 7.4 km (9:14 / km) +225m 8:01 / km
14c shoes: Jalas
Hickory Run red.
Not my finest outing, but at least OK. Definitely have lost some edge, aggression, and speed.
Conservative to 1, and blew 2, to the tune of 2.5-3 minutes. Same leg/area that I blew in training. No excuse for that. Sergei caught me up soon after and essentially dusted me after I flubbed the pond control slightly. I think I really slowed down after that... I was dragging.
It was extremely humid, and pretty hot. Also, I'm a bit out of shape.
I did a good job of concentrating after that, but something was missing. When I am good at HR, I am really good. Today, I was losing 30 seconds on good controls, and a few minutes on 2 and one later control.
The last HR local event was one of the coldest I've ever experienced. This was one of the hottest.

Picking up some sprint and local meet controls.
Note
Decided to bail on the last training. I might have been able to do it, but at the level of fatigue, I thought I was inviting exacerbating the ankle injury. I was also too tired to get much out of it. If healthy, that would have been good for me.
I also threw out my Jalas. Two shoe goo repairs failed and that was about it. Very disappointing as I can't have done more than 120 miles in them. The uppers were pristine but both soles were coming off severely. Even the spikes were all there. What is that all about?
