Event: Flying Pig XII
 

Flying Pig middle distance.

I had a good run except for controls 10 and 13. Will write more about them later.

REALLY muddy! It was hard to run in places because the mud was so thick.

My foot felt fairly good, which was surprising & good because I found out that the Long on Sunday is 13.2 km!

Red - Short Pig/WRE - Splits

Capture-the-flag at Swamp Creek w/ the orienteering group+. I ran some on my foot, which was interesting, but there was a lot of lower-intensity sneaking around through bushes that could be done :-). I did have one sprinting episode, which hurt a little afterwards...I was expecting the girl chasing me to be deterred by blackberries and puddles/swamps, but she apparently wasn't & I got caught after a bit of a chase.

There was also some jail-sitting to be done since I gracefully tripped within the first minute or so of the game, right in front of someone on the other team, when Matej and I were attempting to get across the boundary onto the "enemy" side.

Then there was some uphill crawling later, to save people from jail--and I did manage to crawl up the hill undetected--but unfortunately, everyone had already been saved when I got to the top....

Good practice moving through green at the end :-).

Hoping to start running again soon...foot still hurts, but I'm hoping to play Capture-the-Flag tomorrow! Or maybe I'll end up being the jail guard or ref or something. Need to start running a bit before Flying Pig.
