To start and around the start.

Long race of the Team Fundraiser. I was physically not ready for this. My RACE ended at 11th control of 17 and after it was a struggle to survive the fatigue, blisters, hills and everything else. Defiinitely a learning experience and I am committed to train before I go to the next A-meet.

Sunday: Blue M21 - Splits

Warmed up quite diligently.

WRE middle distance race at the Team Fundraiser. Not my best performance ever but a lot of it is my complete lack of any physical shape whatsoever. Made about 3-4 minutes of mistakes but lost close to 10 minutes due to physicality of the course. I caught the guy who started 6 minutes ahead of me at control 7, let him go at control 9 and in the end he beat me by 4 minutes. Thus, at least 10 minutes lost physically. Mentally I was ok for my lack of orienteering experience in recent years. I certainly enjoyed the course, map, event and - even more so - the weather.

Event: BOK/US Team Umstead 007
 

Sprint race in Umstead. Got to the start very late, started with no warm-up and in my road running shoes. Had three catastrophical errors (2 mins to 4, 2 mins to 7 and 40 sec to 12) plus a few smaller bobbles. Not a good race by any means. It was fun though.

Promptly proceeded to get lost right after finish and it took me 3 miles (instead of what I suppose should have been 0.5 miles or so) to get back to the parking.
