DVOA Summer Picnic at Crow's Nest - Relay Intermediate 2
Was looking to run one of the shorter courses, got my Mom to do White (which she somehow managed to DNF) and Kathy Moss to do Advanced to make up Team Moving to Canada.
I was leg 3 but we used the catch-up mass starts so that didn't really matter. (Otherwise I probably wouldn't have even started until after the picnic began, and would have missed the whole meeting too.)
I'm not in so much pain anymore but I'm very much out of shape and not acclimated to the weather. And apparently I've forgotten how to navigate, messing up two easy controls (3, rocks by the road, thought I'd just see them but wasn't sure which side of the road they were on and ended up overrunning it. 5, in a network of grass paths among rough open and small woods patches, ended up along the wrong long skinny patches of woods (too far East)). Then just felt crappy slogging through tall grass fields in the hot sun. I actually purposely picked a route from 5-6 that would go downhill and in the shade, and it may have even ended up faster than the road route around the other side.
For some reason this really wiped me out and I napped for 2 hours after getting home.
