ahr:157 max:185
i'm just going to refer to this as 'the incident' and move on. to crochet. or maybe interpretive sitting.

against my better judgement, i added my catastrophe to the splits, and gave up the chance to let them be lost to history. fun includes getting my SI stick yanked and flung on leg 3, a preview disaster leg on 5, a mini-disaster leg ending with hilariously/moronically mispunching/repunching 53 instead of 35, (not even realizing i'd been there once already. no wonder the control number seemed like it was on my list), immediately followed by a full-fledged, 50 minute long nuclear meltdown. Didn't really screw my head back on afterwards, but managed to limp along somewhat effectively. Ballpark, real Ben lost 55 minutes (45+ mid-meltdown), and fictitious smart Ben should've come in around 55min, assuming he didn't remispunch. hope i meet that guy some day, he seems cool.

plusses include being well-rested for a number of the legs. ha! and successful blister prevention. many thanks to larry berman for the moleskin, and greg walker for the idea to tape the inside of the shoe - which i had never heard of before. that, and building up a dam around the blister a few tape layers thick saved the day.
---
note to self, mispunch@30:49. starting out from the wrong con trol definitely helped the meltdown be as meltdowny as possible

Event: US S/M/L Champs 2011 & WRE
1 PM
Orienteering 31:21 3.58 km (8:45 / km) +395ft 7:30 / km
ahr:177 max:189
green sprint at franklin park. did okay. wasn't really navigating well enough to make a sprint of it. seriously pooched at least three controls. a fictitious, smarter ben should've been around 10th or so, i reckon. on account of the shorter distance, and not keeping the pace up, i was feeling like i should've tried red today. looking at the splits, i think green was the right choice - i should be going slower and more carefully. that said, I'm slotted for the red middle distance tomorrow, and we'll see how that goes.
started the watch late, ended it late. i'll hack it up to auto-split later
