orienteering 2:39:10 [3] 20.3 km (7:50 / km) +500m 6:59 / km
North Shore Long Distance O-event without the rain. Started very late because I was helping with the registration. Very far and very hilly...
Had fun in the forest part and did pretty well all the way to control 11 (the ridge), where my time was 1:09. Then I took the more scenic but slower route choice to number 12 ( do not know these trails well enough...?). Too many stairways and tourists on the way. After number 13 I seriously ran out of the calories and started to think only about food. The rest of the course (still 9 k to go) I jogged with these questions in my head: "Where could I eat something, who lives on the route choice, is it too far to my house or let's just keep going?"
Ended up visiting a community Centre (almost on the route choice, 18 to 19) to at least drink from a water fountain - located at an ice ring, everyone was having skates on, I looked very out of place. Finished somehow the course.
Great day and a lot of people came out (around 80).
Lesson learned: Eat! or carry a power bar!
