Orienteering 57:36 [3] 1.8 km (32:00 / km)
Joined Carl for Alar's UNO event at the Harris Center. Great terrain but very hot day. Being Father's day, I thought he should have company. Had planned to go just for the social benefits of riding with him and visiting with Lex and Eva. It was a win, win, win, win because I took my O gear and actually went out on the Tan course. Being very sore from my hike the day before, it seemed a good choice--it would be good training if I took it slow and practiced map reading. Good choice. Could hardly run at all--it was a challenge to even stay on the trails at the beginning. That area is so technical that it was all I could do to keep track of where I was. Still made mistakes inside the circle on #4 and #6, but was pretty sure that I was on an adjacent set of parallel features in each case. It took me nearly an hour, but that was just the right amount of time and energy I wanted to expend.
Got in a nice visit with Lex and Pete as well as Eva and Tiivo. Got to see Peter Goodwin, Ken Walker, and Nancy at the finish and saw JJ and Phil Bricker in the forest. Such an amazing place. Glad I went. Very tired afterward--could hardly keep my eyes open on the way home.
