Event: Flying Pig XII
Orienteering race 57:52 [5] 3.7 km (15:38 / km) +130m 13:18 / km
spiked:17/19c slept:6.0
Green Course at the Pig outside Cincinnati. Drove down with Soupbone on Thursday night, stopping in Indy for a bit of enjoyable "recreation" until 3am. An hour after going to bed, I heard a banging on the door...it was Soupie! Runnning around the hallways in his underpants at 4am! What the....?
So the weekend started off on a strange note. But it was good to be back on the Green Course again after the past 3 years on Brown. I blew #12 when I came diagonally across a large field and reentered the woods way wrong...too far left. I only realized my error when I heard rushing water below me, and I realized that I was over a river instead of the dry ditch I wanted.
Lisa McNerney beat me by 4 minutes, and Valerie Meyer beat me by 13 minutes. Pretty humbling. But that's the nice thing about Green: lots of reality checks. On Brown, I've only had a couple of other old guys to compare myself with. Now I can clearly see how much my orienteering has deteriorated.
