| slept:3.0 shoes: Silva K80 |
| Ran the White/Yellow leg of the relay - one stupid route choice, especially since I didn't have gaiters on. Should have stuck to the trail. Well, my bloody legs got me all kinds of attention - I love attention! ;) |

| Orienteering race (COCC Sprint) 18:24 [4]*** 2.19 km (8:24 / km) +60m 7:23 / km | |
| |
| Started one minute behind Eileen B. Kept her in sight through 3 controls and finished less than 2 minutes behind. Good hard effort with only a little bobble at the end. |
| Orienteering race (Arnold Ice Cave) 1:11:04 [4]*** 4.09 km (17:23 / km) +70m 16:00 / km | |
| shoes: Jalas Black FLX |
| Actual distance covered was 6.1 km. Well, it doesn't replace Beuna Vista in terms of sheer misery only becasue I wasn't out there 3+ hours...but a tough event in terms of conditions for me. It was so dusty/sandy!! And when it wasn't sandy underfoot, it was scrubby and rocky. Started 2 minutes behind Eileen B and caught her at 1. Found 2 first with a couple minute error and we were close at 3 & 4. May have found 5 first, and then into butterfly loops. Whew, the pressure was off and I ended up finishing about 13 minutes behind Eileen thanks in part to a 6 minute error on 14.
My throat was parched at the end - full of sand!! Our only water stop was about a third of the way through the course. |
