running (orienteering) 1:40:00 [4] 8.0 mi (12:30 / mi)
First outing in a while. Guilt over inadequate levels of volunteer support had me out doing beginner instruction for 1.5 hours prioir to event. Aforementioned points taken together cause me to drop back to red. Despite running with the dog and the hills kicking my ass I manage a mid-pack finish with only one huge error. Stopped along the way a couple of times to check on the begining groups I had instructed. Great weatehr day for a meet again.
One high note is that Shadow and I again win the common red/blue finish leg split, proving that we are quite fast broken terrain sprinters when we know where we are going.
