11 AM
Orienteering race 1:30:44 [3] 6.05 mi (15:00 / mi) +242ft 14:27 / mi
slept:6.0 shoes: Salomon Speedcross (2017-Navy)
GPHXO two-hour Score-O at Buckeye Hills. Mostly very flat and open (I forgot my knee-socks and didn't get scratched at all -- had a few cactus pokes & scratches on my arms, though).
I went counter-clockwise, starting with #21 (in retrospect, maybe 10-11-12-21-13 would have been more efficient). I blew past #21 somehow, but otherwise just small errors on the rest of the course.
I had one big, tumbling wipeout when I tripped on a rock while running full-speed going slightly downhill -- scraped & cut my hand a bit.
Beautiful weather! (High 60s, blue sky.)
6 PM
Orienteering race 2:03:38 [3] 4.49 mi (27:32 / mi) +424ft 25:17 / mi
shoes: Salomon Speedcross (2017-Navy)
GPHXO two-hour night Score-O at Buckeye Hills.
I went counter-clockwise again. I was worried that my Mexican late lunch / early dinner and acid-y michelada might have been a really bad idea, but my stomach behaved.
I got a bit lost as I approached #25. Pulled up short and went up the wrong reentrant when looking for #31. Got lost again nearing #34.
When I got to #30, I realized I was running out of time, so I skipped #20 and #12 in order to make a beeline back to the start / finish. Unfortunately, this area of the map was VERY rocky -- so I couldn't move very fast and I ended up a few minutes over the time limit.
It rained for most of this event, but the air was warm enough that the rain wasn't unpleasant.
