orienteering 1:46:31 [4] 10.7 km (9:57 / km)
Billgoat at Blue Mt. Not so bad, all things considered.
Downside -- still can't run up any hills, though I think that's partly because I just don't put out as much effort as I used (thinking I'll croak if I work too hard); also one bad fall, lucky I didn't do serious damage; also busted my compass on another fall heading down the hill to 15; also, should have skipped 1 instead of 3.
Upside -- enjoyed the weather (started to rain and got cooler about 20 minutes in); didn't mind having company the whole way; really enjoyed the last 20 minutes or so, runnning better and orienteering well; Bernie and Tim Good and Daniel were kind enough not to pass me in the chute; and ending up first over 40 (all 20 ahead of me were under 40 -- who says this has become an old man's sport).
Another downside (though not of my doing) -- the very bad form, or bad "style" as we used to call it, by the gang from CSU, not staying around for the awards. Make that really really bad form. All were roundly booed at the awards. Kenny may have had the fastest time, but Graeme Ackland is certainly the year's top Goat.
And, to balance that off, another upside -- the fine hospitality of Charlie and Rhonda Deweese the night before, allowing some old and getting-old fogies (Bob Lux, Steve Tarry, Jeff Saeger, JJ, me and Gail, George and Lyn Walker, plus Charlie and Rhonda of course) to sit around Friday evening telling old tales and reminiscing about how good we used to be. As usual, facts were never allowed to interfere with a good story.
One last upside -- a fine course by Bob Bullions!
