Orienteering - race 1:26:43 [3] 6.85 mi (12:40 / mi)
SOL 2 Brown
Tables were turned today as Ray started 4 mins after me. Uphill start, open fell, he was always going to reel me in. A few mins mistake at 3 and he got me. 4 was an epic trudge with not much route choice / thinking, and I asked Ray if I could jack, because I really, really wanted to with every pore of my body. He thought it would be bad form, and I should continue so he could beat me officially (which was a good point), so I kept going, dutifully trudging around. So. Totally. Exhausted. Took a gel at 10-ish and should have taken it earlier as it made me feel better, but there was pretty much just downhill to go when it kicked in. Pleased to survive the gel as it went out of date exactly 3 years ago.
I think two open areas (CSC and this) is my fill for the year.
