Orienteering Race race 1:08:43 [4]
O-Cross race at GLOF. Man, I kept telling people how much I like head-to-head racing, but this was a nasty wake-up. I now will say that I really like mass start races, when fit enough to climb those hills.
Apologies to Jon Torrance who I nailed in the face with a sappling during the mass start. I also ran into a tree while map-reading with my head down early.
Ran with BG and some others for a while, then on the second loop I felt like I had lost contact with the map and was nervous about going down the wrong ravine. When I figured out I was actually in the right spot, BG and friends had left town.
I seem to remember thinking "I really should be enjoying these woods out here when climbing".
How was I second in one of the hardest split out there?
Super fun weekend.
