orienteer 26:56 [3] 2.7 km (9:59 / km) +2m 9:56 / km
run/walk warm up/down 20:00 [3]
Mike did the nicest thing: he was making a new map and he knew I was going to the Boulder Dash next weekend without much O practice. So he set a course for me in a new park and set out tapes (at even numbered controls) and made it feel like a competition. I had a start time, and I did my usual warm up. I even carried my estick. It definitely felt like a real race to me.
It was so much fun to run in a new park. I did OK, but had a bad route choice leaving one control, and got confused by an unmapped trail (the map is a work in progress). I wish I had recovered better from the unmapped trail (there were several obvious warning signs).
I got tired abou 2/3 way though and found myself pausing at each control to take a break. I couldn't keep up the same flow of running and reading the map. Good thing to remember next weekend.
