Orienteering race 1:10:00 [5] **** 6.5 mi (10:46 / mi) +245m 9:38 / mi
shoes: Montrail Highlander
Last race of '08 at Mt Penn. A little rusty at the start, so I wasn't paying much attention when I went 180 out from #1. Probably cost me 5 min. After that, nothing too bad other than iron-lunging up the hills. Not sure how I got in such bad shape... Lots of rocks made running pretty difficult and my back was really stiff--made worse by all that stumbling and falling. Navigation not a problem--as long as I can see something, I think I can do pretty well. Its those summer events in Hickory Run, Hibernia, etc. where you can't see more than 20 ft out that I really suck badly.
