Running warm up/down 10:00 [2]
Orienteering 1:07:37 [3] **** 6.2 km (10:54 / km)
The plan for this weekend was to take it purely as training, focusing on quality Oing, stride extension, and endurance.
Today I told myself not to run fast and it wasn't a problem, hehe. The woods were slow with limited visibility with great detailed terrain. I quite enjoyed it. The course was interesting, no long legs, which was fine by me.
On route to one off the trail I hesitated a little bit trying to adjust to the mapping style of the green. Number 2 was easy but slow, same with 3. Number 4 was the longest leg, roughly 750 m, I decided I would stay left of the green marsh, hit the trail and attack it from the bend. Mostly succeeded, except for excess deviation to the left. On way to 5 I did not have a plan, figured I'll decide to go around the marsh on the right or left side when I get to it. So when I did, I chose to go right, which was fine and I got the control no problem, being careful in the circle. 6 was fine. On 7 I made an error by stopping short. The green just right of the circle confused the heck out of me, esp. since there were rootstocks down there, maybe they were just fallen trees though. Regardless, I doubted my location but when I saw Andis going confidently, I just followed him into the control, and it was just 50 m slightly up. Took a rough bearing to 8, trying to hit the large depression, no problem. For some unknown reason, for which I cursed myself later, I ascended 2 contours to the left and had to go back down to the control, when I should have went around the head of the little cliff man. No biggie though, 10 was easy, 11 I wanted to go straight but veered slightly right. The boulders stopped me and I attacked the control from them. 12 was Ok until I was in the control circle, got confused by the green rootstock area, figured I should see the boulders when I pass it but didn't see them right away. Was quite tired already so just finishing up w/o much thought. Fun time out there!

Orienteering 1:45:00
Didn't run the Highlander or the Lowlander, figured it would be way too much at this stage in my training. Putting out and collecting controls was quite sufficient and good for me. Slightly sprained my right ankle when collecting HL controls when I stepped into a hole toes first. Not bad but not pleasant either.
There is so much garbage spread out in the woods in this area! Hate it! Had to clean up a few broken glass bottles next to rec controls, grr... I sure hope the park will clean it up soon, or maybe HVO can organize a clean-up..
