Orienteering race (bumble) 58:07 [4] 5.72 mi (10:10 / mi)
ahr:147 max:160 shoes: O' Icebuds 2014
Let Dave Onkst shame me into doing the blue. It was held in morven park which is a very open area with lots of fields should predicted to be a very quick run. It was definitely a runners course. More line a very long sprint. There wasn't much navigation choices but you could lose valuable seconds going the wrong way around a tree....
I started with the leaders (until 1/2 way to number 1), then I slowly fell back until I got tired then quickly fell back. Ran most of the race either just ahead or just behind other blue runners.
I was fairly certain of my position until the 2nd to last control I tripped on stick and got a leg cramp. This cost me a place while I had to stop and stretch it out before I could hobble/walk/run again.
