Event: QOC Fountainhead Far West
 

Traffic was bad driving down and I think that set the mood. It was hot (in the 90's) and very humid. I was drenched shortly after starting. I made sure I wasn't pushing it to hard so I wouldn't cramp up in the heat. The woods were generally open visibility but very annoying. All the branches were right at my face level so I was constantly having to bend down. There was also a lot of small sticks so I had to step over. Basically, jump over stuff while hunched over. Not a comfortable run.
I was looking forward to the water stop but the cups were dixie cups which held no water, and the water jugs had no way to pick up and pour. I was dehydrated by the time I finished.
Orienteering wise, I did fine. There weren't large route choice options. Basically it was micro-orienteering. My only mistake was control 3 where I dropped down the wrong spur. Several other people followed me down.

Blue - Splits

I was very tired today. I took a nap on couch and then was groggy the rest of the day. Went for a walk with Darcy to help wake up.

Tried to pick it up the last mile.

I felt better but still being careful not to get hurt. We had lots of subs so I sat a bunch. We played ok against the first place team but still lost 3-1. Still much better than last season.

Warm down around the fields. About 3 laps to the mile.

Rt 175 + Severn Road.

Just an easy run to loosen up from billygoat.

Storm was threatening so went for a short walk. We got back before the rain started.
