O Cup #2 - Starry Nights - the first-ever Night O Cup
McLennan Park
So much fun! We were running around a hilly area, mostly open, sometimes through vetch (thanks for the ID, Outdoorsmama) that grabbed our shins and tried to fling us onto our faces. I only went down once but I caught myself a few times. I made a note today to tell Caron how much yoga helps with balance during orienteering races.
We also ran on grass, through open woods, through playgrounds and parking lots and around a school.
I made a 1:30 error near the beginning when I somehow thought I was running past #6 on my way to #1. So confident was I that I didn't even deviate 2 meters to check the code. But it *was* #1, which should have been obvious in hindsight. On the bright side, it meant I got to run through more vetch.
There were lights bobbing around everywhere and a lot of smiles. I think Hammer accidentally stumbled upon a new slogan for the O Cup Series. ;))
As soon as I finished, cold rain mixed with wet snow started pummelling us, which made the drive home an adventure.
Thank you, Stars!
