My mom and I went out on courses that Peggy set up. It was really fun, we combined courses A, B, and C. I did A first, C second, and then a part of B because I was running out of time.
For A, I think I did really well. I ran a lot of it, but only control #5 tripped me up, because I believe it was misplaced, since it was in a ditch that was way too close to the trail compared to what the map showed. I could be wrong, but I think so. I lost about 3 minutes for this, because I got to what I was confident was the correct ditch, but I couldn't find the streamer, so I wandered around a bit more until I found it in a different ditch.

For C, I did not do well. Hills are my enemy. Going to #2, I chose a very very stupid route choice, causing me to climb a massive, steep hill. Not smart. The end went well, though.
(44:50)
For B, I wish I had more time. I only had 15 minutes left, so I decided to give it a try. I got to 1, then 2, and then I skipped to 6. I don't think I cut off too much distance, since 3, 4, and 5 were fairly short legs.

C • Control 3

lots of core

Same hill as last time, 120m long, 10m climb. I only did 7 reps though, and I feel bad about that, but I was really dying on the 7th. I regret stopping though, mostly because I'm angry that I felt this bad after only 7, while last time I felt much better even after my last rep. Oh well.
1) 40 sec
2) 41 sec
3) 39 sec
4) 41 sec
5) 42 sec
6) 41 sec
7) 42 sec
wow my consistency was so much worse than last time

looking at the pace, I doubt this even classifies as running.
I was trying to jog the entire way, even up that stupid long hill, as a bit of compensation for not doing the 8th rep.

Regardless of my pace, I'm proud of this run. In the first half I ran very well, and in the second half I slowed down a bit cuz it was harder to find the correct spots to place the streamers. It was really fun though.
Also my mom and I realized, on our way to the 3rd control, that it was a map without the trails. Added an extra challenge, which was fun.

very slow run, lots of uphill

mostly downhill, but still slow, after laying down on a fallen tree and resting for like 5 mins

Gave up on running, I guess I'm too tired

jogging/walking (mostly walking) with my mom because we were both tired so why not
