Orienteering race 2:23:20 [3] *** 10.89 mi (13:10 / mi) +449m 11:40 / mi
spiked:16/16c shoes: VJ Falcon w spikes
49th Blue Hills Traverse Mass Start Event.
Nice race! Thanks Jeff and Judy for putting in on again. There were some really long legs (~ 20 minutes running time), which tested the runners route choice judgement. I spiked all controls but was hesitant on 4 of them, but with people around, there was no extra time. A few minutes lost due to sup-optimal route choice. I pretty much settled in with Bridget for the second half after we had crossed paths on and off before. Our paces and orienteering skills appeared to be comparable. It was nice to have company. We both ended up 5th out of ~ 35?. This was a lot of fun!
I have been missing out on the local O events as I was too busy to train for marathons. I thoroughly enjoyed this!
