Event: Hudson Highlander
Orienteering race 5:05:00 [5] ***** 26.2 km (11:38 / km)
shoes: Montrail Highlander
Hudson Highlander. Not sure what to expect at the start. Went out probably faster than I should have. Definitely hurting by the end...
Hung with a group most of the first loop, but was pretty comfortably navigating on my own the whole way. The biggest benefit to the group was largely eliminating the last minute hunting around to find the flag. Still feeling OK through the trail run part. Bashed my knee on the second loop and started to having trouble moving through rough terrain. Ended up with a different group through most of the second loop as well.
Really sweating and worried about dehydration (even though I was only wearing a long sleeve tee under my DVOA top) with temps in the low 40's at start). Spent more time than most at all the aid stations trying to get as much water as I could take--which is how I ended up losing groups between loops. On third loop, I started out alone about 3-5 min after previous group started, but better route choice had us almost joining up at first control. Went off alone again toward second control and got there first, then rejoined for a few controls. On the last real leg, took long way around to use road--not sure ankles would take much more rock--and lost a few minutes.
Very happy with improved navigation on Harriman maps from the last time I was here. Hips really bothering me--conditioning seems OK, but I have to find a solution to back/hip/butt pain...

Walk 30:00 [2] 2.0 mi (15:00 / mi)
brisk walk around the neighborhood while waiting for Bailey. Back feels OK, but leg/hip is so tight I can barely move it in some directions.

Road Running 53:00 [3] 5.4 mi (9:49 / mi)
shoes: New Balance 740
Around the block, just trying to get back in the swing of things after all the course-setting last week. All kinds of things just hurt--is it really possible to go so far downhill by just taking a few days off from running?
