snowshoeing race (Orienteering) 6:49:10 [2] 30.1 km (13:36 / km) +720m 12:08 / km
shoes: Salomon Speed Cross 3 (red)
Day 2, back & hips hurt upon waking & I was a little worried & really happy with our plan to be taking it easy today.
As soon as we started everything felt great though.
Began the day with a big road climb for one CP in field, than a road run to the little box, with 20 CPs. Trails were great and totally runnable, but we took it easy. Not as much climbing as day 1, but one wicked down that only had my butt in barbed wire.
After we got all the points in the box we headed back towards start/finish & got a CP on the way. We then dropped our snowshoes off and ran to one final point.
For a total of 474 points.
2 day total of 1068. Top female (out of 2, plus a veteran), and 5th out of 14 teams.
Although we had time left we didn't feel like hauling butt and getting any more points, as anything else would be an out and back road run.
However, in retrospect, knowing that RunningFree's 2 day total was 1116, thus only 48 points more than us, maybe I would have used the extra 1hr & 10min to run the ~4k out and back to one the 51pointers.
Although my back and hips were great & feel fine now on Monday as I write this, the top of my left foot was killing me 2hrs in to day 2 and is still killing me now.
