Real Orienteering race (Lyell Forest Central) 1:23:36 [3] 10.2 km (8:12 / km) +220m 7:24 / km
shoes: Salamon Sppedcross 4 blue V2
A simple local event that transformed into something of an epic.
I needed a long run for the weekend and when I saw the course was over 8 k I realised this could be the long run. So I entered course 1. Perhaps a little ambitious these days.
Control three was missing. Stolen as it turns out. One of only a couple of unlocked controls. Little time lost here.
Half way through the second long leg I estimated I had covered about half the course in a little over 30 minutes. Perhaps I could do the whole course in an hour?
No. navigated perfectly to control 7 and then realised I had skipped 6. Reversal.
Near control 8 came across Galvo on the ground unable to get up from his fall. Something neurological. A few of us stayed there for a while while he recovered, insisting that if we helped him to stand he would finish the course. Misgivings, but then this is the guy who in his mid fifties did the AAWT in 20 days.
Totally spooked by the state of Galvo, I was thinking about that rather than navigating and went totally AWOL on 9. Took a few minutes to realise my error and then back tracked.
By now I was starting to hit some sort of wall (fasting day). Even though I saw the trap beforehand I still ended up in the wrong parallel gully for 10.
The last little loop of 11,12,13 was hard work. Legs did not want to lift. Running past the finish to 11 was really hard. Almost a David Jones moment.
At the finish I was much closer to 90 minutes than 60 minutes. A hard day.
