Feels like ages since I've done intervals. Felt good for first 3, then felt stomach cramp for 4th, before picking up the pace a little again for the last.

Orienteering race (JFK Arboretum) 34:55 [5] 5.0 km (6:59 / km)
shoes: VJ Bold
"Lurch" Short - "Cousin It" Hussey - "Uncle Fester" Heron
The DUO Adams Family Team started strong with Lurch coming back in 2nd about a min behind Jonathon Quinn. I set off cleanly, immediately having to enter the overgrown forest for #1. Lost time by following Sprint Map rules in the first half of the course, realised no-one else I saw was so took more direct routes for 2nd half. Relatively clean other than those silly routes...and running to the wrong spectator, oops.
I dropped us a position, setting Uncle Fester off just behind Colm. He held on to third place.
I wonder how things may have been if I hadn't started so unnecessarily law-abiding. Damnit.

Orienteering race (Coumshingaun) 1:47:55 [4] 7.2 km (14:59 / km) +330m 12:12 / km
ahr:158 max:179 slept:9.0 shoes: VJ Bold
This was a distastrous effort. Took first two clean, was silly and ran past the third - took a while to spot I was in the wrong area - then eventually headed back to fix it. Climbed too high for #4 then spotted in way down the hill. Clean to #5 before faffing about searching every boulder in the circle before finding #6. By now I'd lost the will to go on as the runnability was so slow anyway that I knew I would struggle to make up for these costly timelosses.
Then I was clean for the next few - until another another "check behind every possible boulder" at #11, and something similar at #12.
Then had a few clean ones and was surprised to meet Regina at #16. We were together for the next 2 and then I ran on. Faffed about in the forest where I met Sharon and then finished just before her.
Was surpried to find out I'd won - so it seems no-one was finding the correct boulders easily. Just glad I kept pushing in the tough terrain even though the entire race felt awful.
Ran 9.4 km.
