Event: QOC Wheaton
12 PM
orienteering race 1:27:22 [4] *** 5.6 km (15:36 / km) +115m 14:09 / km
21c shoes: Inov8 O-roc 280 Redux
QOC Wheaton Regional Park - Red
Advanced courses all seemed on the shorter side and Red was more the typical length of Green.
Still tired from yesterday. Just felt ploddy and legs had no turnover. Near the end it was not possible to run at all.
Missed 2 low, but knew I was too far based on the position of the lake and bridge, and doubled back higher to snag it. Also did a fantastic forward somersault (something I could never do on purpose if I tried) after catching my toe on a log while stepping over. Thought I could get through the overgrown open area to 4, but it turned out to be these horrible vines (thankfully without thorns!) that could get you all tangled up within seconds. So had to bail to the paved path and take that around the top which cost time.
Nobody complimented my pants today, but several people seemed amazed that I was from PA? It's not that far. And I'm here all the time in Jan-March especially.
Not too scratched up, considering the place.

road run race 31:56 [5] 5.0 km (6:23 / km)
shoes: Asics Enduro
Daylight Saving Dash at PSU Berks. Two laps of the same course through campus. I can see I have a lot of work to do if I want to get back to my 26-28 minute 5Ks of a few years ago :-/
Amused that some girl complimented my pants (the blue shiny Vavrys orienteering tights, all full of snags and sewn spots and little holes). When she came up and said she had seen me a few times and started going on about my pants, at first I thought she was going to tell me there was a giant hole in the butt or something.
