Orienteering race 1:06:46 [4] 2.71 mi (24:38 / mi) +610ft 20:18 / mi
shoes: Salomon Speedcross 3 - Blue
Just went slow because I was terrified of messing up here with all the reentrants and spurs. Did mostly okay except for #8 and #12. Interesting lesson for this race: I had a follower who was right behind me the whole way, and would run up and punch the control after I did all the work finding it. It really messed with my head; I found myself trying to lose her and being very annoyed, and hence the huge mistake at #8 where I lost contact with the map. And #12 was just sloppy. The saving grace to this race was that someone else in my age category made a bigger mistake, so I ended up 3rd instead of 4th. What beautiful woods, too!

Walk/Jog 52:04 [3] 5.01 mi (10:24 / mi) +190ft 10:02 / mi
shoes: Brooks Glycerin
Work Lunch Run/Walk. I'm definitely feeling better! I have also resurrected the Briar Patch and hope to have an issue out (well) before the winter meeting if the people who say they're doing articles provide them. Still have lots of stuff I was working on before my life got really complicated, so it should be good to go.

Orienteering race 1:27:53 [4] 3.9 mi (22:32 / mi) +722ft 19:10 / mi
weight:115lbs shoes: Salomon Speedcross 3 - Blue
Mid Atlantic Champs, Green: Didn't do great, didn't do terribly. Some confusion with trails - why do I rely on them? And the rocks, more rocks in reality than on the map. Feeling pretty pooped from the antibiotics, so as hughmac4 says, "good job just getting out there."
#4- trail confusion, lost significant time - earth to anniemac! but hi len!
#5- huh? what trail am i on?
#6- this is a spur?
#8- perhaps bad route choice, went on low trail instead of high, because again, trail confusion
#9- fast running down trail to try and lose kim (which i didn't,) and then ouch, i poked myself on lots of things :)
#10 chose upper trail, and this is where i really started to run out of steam. went too low to bigger boulder and had to correct. Back up the hill to the cliff of 11 which i had passed on the way down.
#12- bad footing and slight confusion, thinking i would be able to see control and stood right in front of rock scratching my head for a little bit.
#13- hardest one, terrain wise. so many rocks and steep descent, took me a long time and didn't feel confident in my footing.
#14- bashing through green, poke poke, branch caught my fingerstick string and wouldn't let go *insert expletive here.*
All in all glad I got out there today and I hope I didn't set myself back on the path to recovery too much. Interestingly this morning when I was thinking about how long this course would take me, and looking at previous year's results, I estimated almost the exact pace that I ended up doing! (I was thinking it would be rocky and steep, and I would be tired.)
Great to have all the family there and to see all the DVOA-ers rising to the challenge! And O M G the Bortz's new little puppy is the most adorable Akita I've ever met!
