Run warm up/down 20:00 [2]
Warmup/warmdown.
Total for the two sprints.
Orienteering race 16:08 [4] *** 2.9 km (5:34 / km)
shoes: Asics Dirt Devils
Pig Sprint #1.
Bad orienteering, especially at the beginning.
Worse flow I've had in many races. Many times after a control I would stop and work on finding myself on the map. Sergey almost caught me up by halfway through, but I kind of got my act together.
Should have jumped more fences? I jumped one, and went under one. I wimped out and went around all the others I encountered.
Highlights:
Speed was OK, on the few legs when I got moving.
Shoes are awesome. I love them.
Lowlights:
Stupidity.
Note
Dietary observations:
2 bananas for breakfast. Some Perrier.
2 bananas after first sprint, 1 piece of Starbucks pumkin bread, a latte, some wheat thins, and some Gatorade.
Not sure if this was enough food?
Orienteering race 16:30 [4] ****
shoes: May 2007 Integrators
Pig Sprint #2.
Another sub-standard race. Made a lug-head error on 4, going down the wrong trail, etc... Lost probably about 40 seconds. On the way to 6, Jon Torrance passes me as I negotiate the fences and broken ground around the sewage plant on my far left route. Lost about 30 seconds on #6.
I tag along after him for the middle part of the course. He breaks away on the way through the green out to the field around the lake to the penultimate control.
I didn't have any gas on the last two controls.
Note
Eagles Drinking Across Ohio Tour stops at the Steinkeller and BJ's. The first was good, the 2nd not so.
