Orienteering race 1:18:17 [4] 8.8 km (8:54 / km) +200m 7:59 / km
OY at Rosenthal Creek.
We had quite an eventful morning getting to the race. On the way out of Warwick we found a little dog that had been run over, so we picked it up and took it to the vet. Turns out the dog had a broken leg, but will be ok, and has been returned to its owner. But waiting for the vet took quite a while and it was much later than we'd planned getting to the event.
Then on the drive south we could see a big storm coming in from the south. It hit just as we got to the event, and pissed down with rain for about 15 mins. I think this worked out well for us because it was much cooler after the storm, but it took a while to find us some dry maps. Those who had been out running without map bags were in big trouble and several had to dnf.
The run itself was ok, but not great. one stupid mistake on 4, where I was on the right line, but then misread a gully and ran over to the next spur. dumb.
Nav was ok other than that, but really struggled running. No energy, and had a very weird numb feeling in the back of my legs and had no power up the hills or to lift my legs (and there was a lot of fallen timber). I think its part of the problems I've had with my back, so off to the chiro this week!
