Orienteering race (Red) 1:51:47 [3] 4.04 mi (27:40 / mi) +609ft 24:13 / mi
slept:4.0 shoes: Salomon Speedcross (2017-Navy)
Really awful sleep last night -- my Airbnb this time kinda sucks (it faces a busy four-lane road that's VERY noisy throughout the night -- and the bed is right up against a crappy single-pane window facing the road).
Maybe that's why I had a 16-minute leg (#9) and a 23-minute leg (#14) today. Or maybe I was just orienteering really poorly. In both cases, I lost contact with the map and was totally lost. "Failing to plan is planning to fail" -- or however that expression goes. After the #14 debacle, I decided to mostly just walk to save my legs for the next day.
I also lost a few minutes trying to disentangle my shoe from barbed wire on the ground near #3 (I finally just ripped it out), but those few minutes were insignificant compared to the disasters at #9 and #14.
Sharon looked at my splits afterwards and asked me, "Did you take a nap out there?" ;-)
I think I have a (new) bug of some sort -- splitting headache at night and intermittent but severe GI troubles during the day & night.
