Orienteering race 45:25 **
ahr:177 max:192 21c shoes: Inov8 X-Talon 212
1- Fine. Trails not mapped as expected, but I got to the top of the hill and found it anyway!
2- Fine, if a pinch hesitant to duck into a clearing that was mapped as open forest.
3- Yay! I did a good job running through the buildings. I had my Caution hat on.
4- Good. Was hard to distinguish the smaller building from the big one, due to tree cover, but I was paying attention well.
5- Around route was easy
6- Another 'around' route, gave me time to look ahead on the map. (Wow! 7 is a long leg!)
7- Ran on the road! Took my gloves off and also read ahead on the map during this section.
8- This was placed way closer to the open veg than the map suggests.
9- Easy. Trying to stay calm. Saw Julie somewhere around 7-8-9 and trying to stay focused.
10- Good
11- Aw, crap. (saw Julie again), ran a bit east before changing my mind, turning around, and running west. After crossing the creek, I was not really sure where on the hillside I was, but I kept telling myself to keep climbing, because I had to go up anyway. Oh, yay- the confusing flat part! I remember this. Stood for a moment. Then ran down a trail with my best guess, then saw my #14 which confirmed my theory (and Shara too!). Entered from the thinner veg side.
12- trails
13- cut across 2 trails, then trail
14- trail
15- haha. When I got to the creek crossing, I stood looking at my map wondering which creek crossing it was (I wasn't sure the first time either...). Then I remembered seeing Heather punch a control here. Doh! haha. It's right there.
16- trail
17- climbed this hillside, which lost me time
18- HA HA. 180 degree error. Ran the wrong way for 10 or 20 yards, then had to U-turn.
18, 19- easy
20- tried to be fancy and run via the indistinct area and actually ran PAST my control (ah, heart rate is rising at the end of the race! ;) and thankfully, finally checked that control. Hey, it's mine!
F- RUN! Hit 192bpm
Not good: control 11 was a mess, and control 20 was silly.
Good: overall, kept my HR under control and it paid off well! May not have beat Heather, but I had a decent race! Felt pretty clearheaded most of the time (except the creek crossing muddled me).
