Orienteering race 1:48:38 14.66 km (7:25 / km) +582m 6:11 / km
shoes: O-Icebug Sisu 10.5
A lot sloppier than an average DVOA event, and a L-achilles pull on some under-fern deadfall at the 1km point made for a far sub-par performance physically, and not super satisfying technically.
Still, the competition was quite thin, and my navigation avoided major blunders, which resulted in a 3rd on the day.
Bugs sucked (and much worse so on Sunday) despite a reasonably heavy spray coat of DEET.
Later, the heat of the day, and/or my over-water under-salt re-hydration, (and failure to take pre-race Excedrin on this warm, humid, long race) contributed to a Migraine that had me nauseated strongly for about 12 hours, w/residual effects for 36 hours...
New York summer orienteering is rather risky in the heat/bug regard...
