running/walking warm up/down 10:00 [1]
orienteering race 1:36:48 [5] *** 5.74 km (16:52 / km) +205m 14:19 / km
11c slept:7.0 (sick) shoes: VJ Falcon
Weston Bend Meet.
Falcon shoes, soles rehot glued - stayed intact for race (one good thing today)...
Night before terrible itching, took Zertec and stayed up past midnight, so didn't get much sleep. Dropped Dee off for vanpool to her race in KC (at 6 am). Went back to bed and slept to about 8 am. Had a large breakfast of leftover macaroni and ground turkey, tomato sauce (from evening before) - so thought I was fueled up.
Terrrain was rough (steep, brambly) and orienteering was not sharp. Felt tired before the start, like on many past two-day events, so I thought I could do the course today. But, really bonked leaving #4 - had to walk and felt dizzy enough to just stop. After leaving 5 (after Mike E. caught me), thought was to return to the start. On the way to 6, saw going to 6 and 7 was part of route to finish. Try that and then reevaluate, but no energy, the prudent plan would be to abandon. Asked for any energy bar or food from 2 guys at 6; they had nothing. Then in the open area to 7, asked Gloria Waters and she kindly offered half of an energy bar. At this point from 4-7, walking most of the time, resting on uphills. Energy bar helped and ended up completing the course.
Hard effort the day before; long drive; lack of sleep. Was diet to blame, too?
Looks like Fritz did OK today. He wasn't happy getting stuck at the Des Moines race start yesterday. While did Mary do the white course today?

running/walking warm up/down 20:00 [1]
running/walking race 51:09 [5] 10.0 km (5:07 / km)
slept:8.0 shoes: OLway Tigers?
Living History Farms XC 10K (Des Moines, IA). Over 5000 competitors in the 27th event. Lots of run. Fritz Menninger, Dick Neuburger, David Coziahr and I teamed up with Lawrence speedster, Steve Riley, to form the Possum Trotter team. 4 mi of typical Midwest open field running. But, the fun stuff was the 2 miles in the wooded trails with about 7 stream crossings and 6 uphills - at least 3 with ropes to aid people up the muddy inclines. the orienteers had a great time using their studdedm spiked shors to clamor up the steeps slopes with no trouble. 6th M55 - happy with the even pace and the handling of the fun tough stretches. Warm enough to run in shorts, gloves and my Vermont O' beanie.
