Event: DVOA Quail Hill
Orienteering race 1:11:46 9.77 km (7:21 / km) +314m 6:20 / km
ahr:159 max:171 shoes: O-VJ Integrator Spikes
A reasonable day a Mt. Tom.
Not much warmup (9:04am start is a bit early for the family - I went to Panera bread alone at 6:30, brought them breakfast at 7:15am, and finally dragged Angelica & Oriana out of bed around 7:35...)
Nav. was generally okay, but with a bit more slop on some early controls and a totally lost few minutes near 6 where I had to see both John Campbell and someone else go through before spotting the bag, while still totally out of touch with the map. Rest of the course was pretty clean - I just was not fast enough.
Behind PG on # 1 which I was clean on. Apparently I start slow. And Peter had a very nice day (and weekend) for that matter, quite ready to scalp the unsteady.
HR was a bit low, probably due to the 2nd day of racing, but I think I may be getting lazy too. I'm sure a comparable length trail race would be much closer to 170 ave. HR. At least I think so. I'll have a few shots at that this winter.
After a disaster on Saturday, Angelica had a much better day today, snagging me by just over a minute... I can let that happen again...
Just missed a medal. I think my last A-meet medal as 2007 US Champs. A good event to get a medal in, but I'd really like to get another one some day. AJ continues to collect medals - a silver this time (moving up from 3rd on Sat.)
