strength/stretching warm up/down 5:00 [1]
orienteering race 49:52 [2] 3.37 mi (14:48 / mi)
shoes: Icebug Ardor OLX
Rockcrusher - Middle Course, 4.2K, skipped #6 by mistake, so dnf'd.
Nice day, temp: mid 60s, sunny. Planned to walk and run, but right calf felt OK and ran most of the way. Had to deal with the very rough grab-me vines. Lucky I didn't trip or get hurt. 2 others had to ice up after falls.
So another race missing a control - ever since we've gone to chip timing. Solution: maybe I need to shout to myself the number of the control I'm at before going to the next one. Something to check my map. Today, I approached #5 with others to my right still searching, so I decided I wanted to go in and leave quickly - and didn't see the near pt #6 and forget I was still at #5.

Since I missed pt #6 on the middle course wanted to pickup controls around that point. Easy walk/jog. Took a lot of Gatorade and salty chips before going out as I was cramping a little bit.
OK, will I avoid skipping a control at the national meet in Texas?
