Event: Kick-Start and Starry Night O-CUP Races

10 AM

Running race (Orienteering) 1:03:40 9.32 km (6:50 / km) +209m 6:09 / km
ahr:154 max:180 shoes: Salomon S-lab Speed

First O-cup in the 2015/2016 hosted by the Stars. Hope to a) do most of the races in 2015/16 b) not get caught up following the real orienteers at the beginning, just do my own thing.

Last minute decision to do this; wasn't sure how late Friday night would be but ended up pretty civilized. Glad I did the race even though I made a few big errors. The first was finding C in the initial box. Looking at the map and thinking about the terrain it makes sense but as the seconds turn into minutes during the race it's somehow beyond a quick resolve. The next gaffe was forgetting the second box while being chased by Hammer. Internal monelogue "Why is Hammer BEHIND me after I already screwed up a big section? Also where is that second box as I'm almost back on map #1.... ohhhh... f*ck!". Ah well, fun stuff and good course. Really liked the new shoes for the race too.

C • New Shoes...do tell 5

2 PM

Running (Orienteering) 29:11 4.48 km (6:31 / km) +50m 6:10 / km
ahr:140 max:176 shoes: Salomon S-lab Speed

STARS training session. Map memory exercise. First time, very tough but can totally see how this would be beneficial.
