orienteering 1:39:11 [3] *** 6.0 km (16:32 / km)
16c shoes: Jalas hi-top O' shoes
Training at Catalina State Park. High winds, rain, some stuff that felt like sleet or hail, and did I mention the very high winds? This was supposed to be an interval orienteering training (high speed for a few short legs, regroup and do it again), but I found the terrain too rocky to ever really get going fast except for a couple short segments. 21:49 of the time was walking or slow jog from the end of one segment to the start of the next. A couple times, wind got so strong that I had to hunker down for a few seconds to avoid being blown off my feet into rocks or cacti. Definitely an unusual day for southern Arizona! distance estimated.
