Running warm up/down 5:00 [1] 1.0 km (5:00 / km)
shoes: 201304 Inov-8 Oroc 280s
Jogged around the field by Marjam to warmup. Conditions were chill (1 C, breezy), but manageable with LS, tights, and gloves.
Orienteering 47:17 [3] 6.61 km (7:09 / km) +148m 6:26 / km
17c shoes: 201304 Inov-8 Oroc 280s
I decided to rerun the blue final middle distance course from the CSU 2009 A-meet. I had forgotten that I did this once before, in February of this year. That seems like an eternity in the past.
I don't especially care for orienteering in the Fells. The map is fine (though confusing in some places), but the experience often is mediocre or unpleasant. There are many places I would rather go, but it was nonetheless very satisfying to get out and run. I was stabbed and poked by rocks a few times, but it was not overwhelming. I ran with my original map copy (I think), which apparently has seen a good bit of use. I suppose this particular course goes through a few garbagy areas compared to the 2010 A-meet or even the qualifying middle course.

Running 26:28 [1] 4.66 km (5:40 / km) +100m 5:08 / km

A quick easy run before packing it in. Adding a run like this after all training exercises would probably be beneficial.
