Orienteering race (Mountain Biking) 54:21 [5] ** 5.5 mi (9:53 / mi)
spiked:11/11c shoes: Trek 3 Series
Short course. My GPS conked out about 1/4 mile in, so I am guesstimating at the distance. The course was 7.6km straight line.
I had forgotten my bike shoes, so I used trail runners with the clipless pedals.
I'm proud to say that I never walked up a hill (there were some long, steep ones). On the last long hill, I was VERY close to walking, but I was also passing Dana, who was doing a green foot-o course, so of course I couldn't let myself stop pedaling!
Although I have set and vet 2 bike-o courses, this is the first time I raced one. Good times!
