Event: QOC Patuxent
Orienteering race (Pax River - Yellow) 24:36 [3] *** 2.4 km (10:15 / km) +20m 9:50 / km
spiked:8/9c shoes: Pink Ice Bugs #2
A Saturday QOC event with foreboding weather, so numbers were way down - 107 starts. However, it cleared up by mid-morning, and it was a lovely, somewhat lesurily day.
Ran Yellow in preparation of running way down in Ohio and Georgia. Goal for this year is to win a rankings class for the first time. Didn't make it higher then 2nd on F-Orange about 12 years back during my last venture into the world of slowness and fatness. OK, winning the F-Yellow (same course for 13-14 year olds at Nat'l meets) isn't really my goal, but I may as well have a sense of humor about this whole repairing the body parts thing.
Initial time to beat today was 30:01, so I thought I could do that. Then it went down 28:xx and finally just under 25 before I started. Wasn't sure about getting under 25, after standing and sitting around all day. Then, I really thought I had blown it even though I blatantly cheated by looking at my map for the first control route before I punched start and still managed to make a two minute error. Oops. Cheaters never prosper. ;)
Went around cleanly after that, all the while sucking wind and tasting copper. Yeah!
Good day with Ryan H doing the bulk of the computer stuff, and David L handling the SI-card return, and finally Jeremy G being game to man the download computer with just 60 seconds of instruction while I was out. Lots of help scheduled to set up and close down, and after having a BOTTLE of diet coke for me at the end, Glenn S passed the MD test with flying colors.
Eddie did some more testing with the radio controls, and I think we are making progress there as well.

Walking 30:00 [1] 2.0 mi (15:00 / mi)
Back to the park to look for the control again. Started at the S/F and followed the route back to the control site. Looked around again at the place that D said it was hanging and nothing. Decided to walk upstream more to make sure I was in the right location. On the return to the control site, I was up the slope a little further, and there it was tied to a little tree. Yeah. Two-fer - found the control and got out for a walk on a beautiful February day.
Now, I will do my stretching and strength stuff.
