Orienteering (Woods) 1:27:00 [2] ***
16c
Temps in the 20's, light wind, and only a touch of new snow made for some pretty ideal conditions. Went to Deer Grove (CAOC 1:10) to run an old blue course. Went without a warmup so I started slow, but my head never really got into it. I tried pushing the pace, backing off, taking safe routes, taking aggressive routes, and all through it my brain just refused to turn on. Hit 6K at just over an hour and decided that this just wasn't the day so I bailed straight back to the car. As pennance for such a lame effort, I went through about 1K of medium green, which is no small undertaking at Deer Grove. Ironically, that was probably the best running I did all day - maybe I should have done that for a warmup.
