Event: OK Local: Rockhaven
orienteer 30:00 [2]
Running around, putting out last markers, picking up markers and trail cam at today's event.
We had great weather and a good turnout. I think the medium course was too hard. And the long course might have been too physical. But everyone said they had fun (that I talked to; others may have heard complaints when I wasn't around :)
In the middle of the event, a sheriff's car drove up. I suspect one of the neighbors noticed all these cars driving past and called the sheriff. Our county currently has a restriction on gatherings of no more than 10 people. But it's not a gathering if people are coming and going. We had 30 minute start windows, and of course, people were separated on the courses. He was pretty cool, and was more curious about what we were doing (never heard of orienteering). So I explained and gave him a map and he left. I suspect he could see right away that we weren't hosting a big party or anything that could be a covid risk, so he didn't worry.

putting out markers for tomorrow's event. Since we rescheduled it, I knew I would have to take a vacation day today in order to have time to get then out there. Feels odd to take a vacation day so early in the year!
I went really slow, walking and carrying the markers. Mostly because I have a cold. The first symptoms were just fatigue and a headache for three days. I started to panic and think it could be covid (although no fever, and only coughing occasionally). I got a rapid test yesterday (negative) and the cold-like symptoms became more obvious today. Still weird to get sick with so little exposure to other people.

I felt off all day. I even took a nap at lunchtime. But I had to get out in the sunshine and warm temps, so I went for a walk on west campus.

Mike and I went to Rockcrusher and played around in the snow. I slipped and fell a few times, but I had lots of fun looking at animal tracks. I was distracted and my O suffered badly. I also misjudged the time and had to do a long trail run to get back to the car.
I also tested out my new O pants. I'm still searching for that elusive unicorn: fabric that stretches but can hold up to Kansas woods (with thorns, brambles and sticky things). I made the new pants with DriFit Wicking Ripstop.
The positives:
1. pants were super stretchy and comfortable
2. warm and moisture wicking
3. Held up well to thorns, brambles and branches
The negatives:
1. held onto every stick tight and burr
2. thorns caused pulls and pills on the surface
So, overall, not a win. Supplex is still the best for resistance to thorns and almost nothing sticks to it. But it has no stretch. I think I might try making a pair with mostly supplex but with a lycra stripe down the outside of the leg to allow some flexibility. That area will get stick tights and possibly ripped by thorns, but it's a smaller area. Other suggestions?
