Orienteering 26:31 [3] *** 2.8 km (9:28 / km) +300m 6:10 / km
shoes: Icebug
Yikes! 1st control was a massive climb up the mountain! Then the 4th control required another huge climb. Got to number 4 and sun was already pretty low...had a bad feeling about continuing on, so I either was given a prompting that saved my life from a bear attack, or I'm just a scardey cat. Either way I live to see my beautiful wife and children tonight as they get home tonight.
I use the term "home" liberally as a dishwasher-instigated electrical fire burnt part of our kitchen down and the firefighters CO flush spread toxic ash through the whole house, therefore a 2 bedroom suite shall be our "home" for the next few weeks...which means wife & kiddos might come with me out east too.
Also noteworthy is my Icebugs arrived and this in my first time using them. Great grip, overall pretty satisfied with them so far. Only complaint is they seem to be narrower in the toes than I would like.
Control 5-10 on this map will be really good bouldery stuff to run through if I can get back up the mountain again before Friday.
