Orienteer race (Pig Long) 1:47:55 [3] 7.0 km (15:25 / km) +450m 11:40 / km
shoes: Asics Speedstar 6
I'll update the actual run later; as I recall I made minimal errors but felt tired especially up the long hills.
My dumbest mistake (well known, I think) was putting a Cliff bar in the same pocket as my parents' car key. Sure enough, lost the key somewhere up a big hill, and had to call AAA who called a locksmith. They were very nice - came out to Yellowwwwwood, made a key on the spot. It cost about $300 Gasp. But I was so happy there was a solution!
Thanks to all the people who lent phones (Bill L, Soupbone, a few others I think) and all the offers of "let me know what I can do to help"... previous people plus Bill Pullman and probably others. At least I didn't feel stranded!
And strangely, it didn't really bother me since I'm accustomed to dealing with myself. So I enjoyed the sunshine and the waiting time in a great environment.
Best offer of help was from Oslug...
"can I do anything to help?" - No, but thanks so much
"how about some chocolate".... Uh , YEAH.. That was sweet.
Robin had a horrible run on Orange; thought she did well but then somehow found out she MPd. She denied it (don't we all!) but it turns out she ran from 6 direct to 11, and then maybe from 13-16. hahahahaha
but, the best thing is that NO ONE in her class beat her in the long! They ALL MP, or dnf, or dns or something. She ended up winning Gold in F-Orange for the weekend.

Orienteer race 25:25 [3] 2.7 km (9:25 / km)
shoes: Icebug Acceleritas-L
Took this a bit cautious, since i seem to MP on sprints.
Also was looking out for uncrossable trick areas and misinterpreted some areas as having joined lines when there were actually small through ways so not optimal routes; then spent more time than necessary staring at black lines to see what was what. But no tricks on this course. Should have just been fast fast fast. Of course, that might have introduced some other problems so maybe safe and steady and easy was okay for today. Checked all codes which was my goal. Fun course, great weather.

took a long nap, woke up and felt like running. So I did. Kind of windy though, I guess it's not really quite ready to be Spring yet.
