 | Orienteering race 2:05:56 [4] 12.5 km (10:04 / km) | |
| |
| 29th Billygoat at Thacher, my eighth and fastest time by about 7 minutes. Ground was wet (and muddy) from two days rain, but the skies cleared before the start and temp was in the low 60's. A good run, with only about 3 minutes lost. Lots of company, including Jeff Schapiro and Dave Yee for most the course. I got ahead of Jeff a couple of times, but he always quickly passed me back, which was fine since I was content to be behind him (and others) as long as they were choosing good routes, which they were! My energy was flagging towards the end, and I fell off the end of the group heading to 22. But overall a better physical effort than I expected. |

| Thursday evening track, with nice cool weather. Moved up to the Cheetahs (the "fast" group), which meant more mileage and short rests. 1200x800x1200x800x1200. Felt good, and ran well within myself. But I miss having PG to chase around the track. 4:50 (141), 3:03 (145), 4:45 (147), 3:04 (146), 4:45 (150). |
