Orienteering 20:00 [1] ***
3c
Headed out after breakfast to get myself used to 1:15. Some pace-counting calibration, just getting the feel for the smallness of everything on the map!
12 PM
Running warm up/down 3:00 [1] 0.3 mi (10:00 / mi)
Not much of a warm-up... Just wasn't feeling like I needed my legs as primed for the long, although it probably wouldn't have hurt.
Orienteering race 1:04:50 [4]
17c
NAOC Long - Egypt Mills - RouteGadget
Another good one! In fact, by WRE points, my best of the weekend. Again, no real mistakes, perhaps not perfect route choice, but nothing that cost me too much. 3 minutes and change back from Emma. I passed three-minute up Louise shortly after 9, having first seen her heading into 8. Then I caught Sam on the way to 13. I led into that control, but then she kicked it up a notch and we were flying through the rest of the course. We both need to reach the point we have that full-speed confidence on our own, because physically we can do it and stay in map contact. (Check out how even or ahead our splits are of Emma!)
2- Came out a bit higher than planned in reentrant, and just decided I was looking for a control in the reentrant, whoops, no, spur.
8 - Took low route. Kinda liked it, was fast running for the bit I was on the flat shelf, and maybe less up-and-down than high route.
9 - Bah, distracted by Louise into a route I didn't want to take. Serves me right. Took a gel at the control.
10 - Went left. Tried for a bit to make something right work, and perhaps that was the faster choice. But Emma went left and still put 1m45 on me. Jeez!!
13 - Once we were on the trail, probably should have stayed with it for a flatter route choice (little trail to big trail to straight shot between the little lake and big one).
14-Finish - Flying! =)
