Running warm up/down (Warm-up) 10:00 [2] 1.15 mi (8:42 / mi)
slept:6.5 weight:169.5lbs
Jogging around the Prince William Forest Turkey Run parking lot to warm-up for QOC's meet.
Orienteering race (Competition) 1:45:02 [4] **** 9.56 km (10:59 / km) +335m 9:21 / km
spiked:8/11c
QOC at Prince William Forest; South Fork, Quantico Creek. QOC's course setter trainee's set the course under the direction of Francis Hogel. I should have expected the classic long leg of Francis' courses but was surprised to find 6 legs approaching or well over 1K. Mistakes were costly with few easy relocation features. I enjoyed it all including the almost 60F day. I lapsed concentration twice and paid the price (~4:00 and 10:00 minutes); I not only lost my place but suddenly presumed I was elsewhere on the course at big reentrant junctions. I think the lack of taking a Gu with me added fatigue and contributed to the mental errors. The starts were from Turkey Run Ridge thus allowing us to get to many nice parts of the park that I was not very familiar with. See the Split List.
Orienteering warm up/down (Control Pick-up) 26:30 [2] *** 2.11 km (12:34 / km)
spiked:3/3c
I was pretty beat after running around at #8 so long. However with few people to pickup and Jon Torrance's inspiring dual races, then control pickup, I decided to grab a few controls and e-punch boxes too--thanks for waiting Peggy... Jon ran a 10 mile trail race in the park getting 3rd and then ran 77 minutes on the same Blue course that just took me 104 minutes. Scary thunder sounded as I gathered them but no rain fell on me. My left ankle/achilles hurt some.
