12 PM
orienteering race 1:33:39 [4] *** 5.4 km (17:21 / km) +120m 15:36 / km
11c shoes: Inov8 O-roc 280
DVOA French Creek North - Green
Always a tough venue in the summer, and I don't usually do as well when the parks are green and the visibility low. So I expected floundering. Yet somehow I was on today and hitting straight into most of the controls. In fact, I only had a few small errors and they related to picking attackpoints along the trail. I felt a bit lightheaded at one point when I had to bend over (sometimes does happen because I have low blood pressure, and I have never actually passed out) but after that made sure to keeping sucking down lots of water and felt ok.
When I got back and started to change, I realized I forgot to bring a clean shirt. (Had all the other clothes though.) Wore my damp, clammy shirt all the way home. Yuck.
