Orienteering 1:27:36 **** 5.96 mi (14:42 / mi)
shoes: 2009 VJ Falcons
Tucson Training Camp
O-Intervals on Catalina State Park in very strong wind and occasional rain. I ran them in a pair with Cristina. She got a head start of 1-2 minutes and tried to hold me off, which she did successfully 2 out of 4 times. The terrain was rough: rocky and prickly, with lots of cactus everywhere, but there were some nice parts too. Map and routes later.

An attempt at doing the training race at Arthur Pack. I could not understand the map or find any controls. Got frustrated, jogged back to the finish and decided to try again.

So I tried again, and this time it clicked. I was very careful on the first three controls, trying to understand which cactuses were mapped, which vague washes were shown, and how to interpret the 2ft contours. After spiking the first three, I sped up and pushed hard the rest of the way, orienteering well. This was my first satisfying orienteering session this week. About time. Map later.
