NA Middle Championships
Rainy & warm day but we were treated to great courses on an excellent map of awesome glacial terrain. After yesterday's drought, my ego received a few drops of confidence as I navigated quite well over this complex terrain. Fatigue from the prior days (and a conscious decision) slowed my running to the point where I was able to plan my routes well and keep contact with the map. I had one medium and one large error which pulled down my time but I was very pleased with overall orienteering.
Note
Being tired & soaked from the day, I wimped-out on the trip to a downtown microbrewery. As much as I missed the fun group, I needed solid (as opposed to IPA) carbs and rest before my long race on Sunday. I returned to Ruby Tuesday for their salad bar and a better entree and then retired to watch two Clint Eastwood DH movies and make plans & reservations for my next o-trip.
