OK Tyr Open Ultralong Champs.
Felt right from the first steps that this would be a tough day. My stomach felt awful, probably because of eating too much for breakfast too close to the start. Thought about quitting halfway through the first loop, but decided to hang on. Had a couple of quick puke stops along the way, but managed to get around the course. Ran and orienteered really poorly, and my time was snail-pace, 30 minutes behind the winner!
There were two positives, however: my best splits were all in the last few legs of the course, and I was running around 6 min/km for the last 5km or so, after slogging at 8 min/km most of the way. I guess I started feeling a bit better.
It was the other positive, however, that made the whole ordeal worth it: on the way to #6, I saw a huge moose charge full-speed through the marsh, onto the trail, down the trail for a few steps, and then off into the woods again, probably spiking the control. Those things can really move!!
