Event: QOC Fountainhead West
Orienteering 2:08:00 [3] 3.88 mi (32:59 / mi)
shoes: inov-8 X-Claw 275
@ Fountainhead.
Good to be outside even though it was raining. Didn't run in the morning (ack!), didn't run this course either - feeling lazy, but grateful to be outside in the woods for a good chunk of time. Haven't had the chance to go orienteering in a few months, mainly because of scheduling conflicts. If I miss too many weeks in a row, I feel like I'm starting over again, relearning how to read a map & how to make the compass feel good in my hand. I got lost on the way to the first control (as usual), but the rest of the time I felt like I could start to "see" the contours. Easier to do in the beginning of the course when I'm less tired. Caught up with Florence on the last 2 controls and we chatted our way to the finish.
