 | Orienteering race 2:45:10 [4]*** 13.2 km (12:31 / km) +310m 11:12 / km | |
| shoes: Integrators pair 1 |
| Colorado 5 days - blue day 2. Even more a runners course than yesterday. Navigation generally easy, but long legs through prarie, plus some very steep rocky ascents and descents. (Having said that I lost about 3 minutes on no 1 due to carelessness, and made an error on no 18 due to being tired). Not enough water points on the course, and I was feeling dehydrated near the end. Also I was still feeling the effects of yesterday. Last place by quite a long way today.
Came face to face with a cow at one point (it seems that others met the same cow as well!).

Saturday Aug 4 |
| Orienteering race 2:12:02 [4]*** 11.3 km (11:41 / km) +285m 10:23 / km | |
| shoes: Integrators pair 1 |
| Colorado 5 day - day 1 blue course. I pre ran, so got to run when it was cooler than most people. The terrain was mostly open prarie with several rocky slopes. Definitely a runners course (which I'm not - hence my slow time relative to everyone else). At one point I encountered a herd of cows, and sent them running after the person pre-running red.
Was joint tied for last place, but at least it gave me my first ranking points for 2.5 years (although I need more races to get into the rankings list!). |
