Orienteering race (Red Y) 2:18:30 [3] *** 9.2 km (15:03 / km)
spiked:15/16c rhr:45 slept:9.0 shoes: Black and Yellow XC spikes
Flawless navigation through first 6 controls. (There was no water at the 4th control despite being so marked on the clue sheet...I think that was the start of my meltdown.) I wasn't paying attention on the way to 7 and went by the control halfway to the next one before I woke. This took any remaining wind from my sails. This is not an idle metaphor, as I felt as I was in a sailboat on a calm water far from land and only the rudder as an oar. I stumbled through the rest of the course. I am not sure why I could do nothing out there: I was never lost, I just couldn't coordinate my feet to move quickly.
