Hot day! Nice brown course set among the woods, mostly off-trail travel. Walked and jogged to minimize zapping the hamstring. That felt fine until sitting at the picnic table. And got more sore driving home.
Silly mistake at the start: headed off thinking I was at the double circles (finish) rather than the triangle, so wasted two minutes sorting that out. guess I haven't been orienteering for a while! Okay until 7 where I was too far R over the top of the hill and had to come back, another minute. Then two lost getting 8, took the R trail to the crest of the hill and that put me off. Stayed on the trail too long going to 10 and overshot. Lost 3-1/2 min in the search mode.
Best part was getting a double ice cream dish after finishing, and then a cone when Dan and Daniel came in from also doing brown. Kate, Michael and Eddie did yellow with Kate as the guide. Good family outing!
