Orienteering 45:00 [3] *** 2.5 mi (18:00 / mi)
3c shoes: Salomon Speedcross 4 - Gray2
I’m embarrassed to admit I tried orienteering today.
When we arrived at the arena we found out that the athletes would be starting there as well as running through a spectator loop and finishing. Previously we thought they would have a remote start. This meant I could watch syd start, but only if I made it back from my spectator middle on time, which would be very tight. That was all that was on my mind as I set off and promptly had a huge mistake on 1, 2, and 3. I decided my mind was not in the right place and I’d rather watch syd start than keep fighting it, so I headed to the finish.
Lesson: don’t sign up for spectator races on syds race days. In general I’d be happy doing the day of registration for the open classes, A6 is pretty close to M21-, and it’s all for fun anyway.
