orienteering 1:08:10 [4]
ahr:157 18c
The first Ft Lev Adventure Series event of the new season. Today's course was street/park orienteering.
When I woke up, the dew point was 73 and the humidity was over 90 percent (and temp was 75), so it was going to be a bit of a slog as the temp went up.
I took it at a pace I figured I could hold. I made a point of walking a bit at each control and then took 3 breaks where I just walked for a minute. I also walked the longer uphills. Still, after about 30 minutes it felt like I was overheating. I dumped some water on myself a few times. I think that helped. I think my overall approach helped me feel not-too-terrible when I was done.
They time the event to the nearest minute, so three of us tied at 1:08. The other two with the same time were Meangene and a two person team.
Turnout was light. I hope they get more people at the next event. I think they will. Mary got an email from a couple of former USMAOC orienteers who are now at Ft Lev. They weren't there, but maybe we'll see them next time.
