Orienteering race 1:01:24 [3] 4.38 mi (14:01 / mi) +207m 12:13 / mi
UNO Mine Falls by Pete B and Mike Commons. Did red, 5.5k. Blustery day, cold if working at/standing around S/F. Good to get feet wet (on the new season) so to speak; also got feet truly wet mostly due to mediocre route choice. Give myself a B/B-. Didn't even see second powerline on map (admittedly yellow is too light) which really threw me off on way to first flag. Dumb on others, too - particularly #3 where I took the left route which involved two stream crossings:( vs none. Points were low in the three pits as they need to be in spring, so there was some back and forth on 2 of those. 8-9' errors total, 4.5' possibly on the first point. A lot of stop and go for me today as in wind sprints, something high time due. Nothing like hard work to get anywhere, eg, improve in CV arena.
Hit watch button on something and not sure what it was trying to tell me last few minutes but splits were recorded.
Missed messing up a toe or two big time earlier today: a 50ish lb bronze centerboard trunk casing fell down below on the boat, landing in part on my right foot. Now a black and blue distal half 4th toe and what appears to be a blackening great toe nail. If the latter goes, it will be the third one. First time summer 2013 hiking in Whites with Phil B, then the fill-in last summer (that was mostly finished) and now this. A bit of blood but no problem weight bearing.
