Note
All-in-all an excellent training day, capping off a solid training week. A lot of O miles, a lot of controls, in tough woods. Practice with fuel / hydration. Hot dogs! :) Got to see my O buds, which was really excellent.
Planned on all 6 races, but only had the time for 4 (even starting Orange at 1:40 got a frown or two ;)), as there were some issues with the computer which slowed up my Red > Green transition.
Thanks to JKoczak for watching the girls all day while I did this. You're the best, J!

Shoulder is beginning to bother me pretty badly. Darn. I6 ingested.

First of 4 courses today, I tried to keep the pace up but I knew I had more to go (planned on all 6), so that kept me cautious. Still fell once, hard, in rocks, but managed to miss them, I think. Gonna be achy! ;)
Really nice to see my O buds out there.
Orienteering race (Hibernia Green) 42:02 [4] 3.58 mi (11:45 / mi) +328ft 10:48 / mi

Green. Went well, only a few muffs. Not a huge advantage to have done red.
Orienteering race (Hibernia Brown) 37:52 [4] 2.99 mi (12:40 / mi) +337ft 11:27 / mi
shoes: Inov-8 Trailroc 245 (2nd pair)
Brown was fun! Physically tough, beginning to wear me down.
Orienteering race (Hibernia Orange) 38:52 [4] ** 3.31 mi (11:45 / mi) +325ft 10:45 / mi
shoes: Inov-8 Trailroc 245 (2nd pair)
Watch stopped, probably when I fell (again) on my left shoulder and arm (again) ... at the downhill to the same control! Oooch. Gonna be sore.
Big fat paved road mistake on the long from 4 to 5. Poor mapping + tired and not paying attention (I was focused on a song I was singing! :)) == at least a couple of minutes of clueless road running before realizing my mistake. Oops!
