Event: NEOC: Great Brook Farm
Event: Ottawa O-Fest 2013
10 AM
Orienteering race 1:24:03 [3] 9.08 km (9:16 / km) +143m 8:35 / km
NOD @Great Brook Farm SP, thanks to Tim Parson & NEOC. Lots of people there. Decent run, B+ anyway. Red was 7.1k and 21c so a bit long - scale was 1/7500. Remember the days when I hoped courses would be around 10k for a better chance at Steve Tarry.
Feet thoroughly wet on way to #3 - no way to avoid. Felt like #5 wasn't quite where it was supposed to be. Lost maybe 1' @ 12, 45" @ 18, 45" @ 19, 1.5' on way to & @ 21. Best for me around 80'. Missed splits 13, 15, 18, 19.
Marvelous coincidence: saw a fellow orienteering with four Corgis.
A form of Four-O - if there ever was one.
After drove along Curve & Fiske harking back to good old days, all ghosts today. Walked the perimeter of the Fiske property as Beth & I used to do.
The garden was overgrown, the old shed still there - neglected, half hidden by vegetation. We wrapped a VW Beetle up alongside it on an October eve in 1984 - left it there for the winter when we went away. I'm nostalgia prone, Beth very little if at all.
