stretch 15:00 [1]
8 AM
orienteer 17:52 1.9 km (9:24 / km) +13m 9:06 / km
ahr:148 max:167
The heat wave finally ended so I decided to run the SSG course that I missed in July. It was overcast and humid. I got tired, I haven't tried running hard in a while. I made a huge mistake leaving 12. I was fighting with my compass but was too tired to figure it out right away.
AS I finished, I was surprised to be done so quickly. I thought there were more route choice legs, I remember people talking about them. It was only after I finished that I noticed is was the short course, not the long course. Ugh!
I had arranged to meet Fritz to deliver our e-boxes (he's bringing them to Laramie) so I went there after this course.

After I dropped the gear with Fritz, I went back to campus. I pulled up the long course image on my phone and drew it on the short course map. It was a bit hard to read, so I slowed down a few times on the course to check where I was supposed to go next.
Otherwise, I felt pretty good. It helped that is was now raining, which felt good. It also helped that I had been to some locations already, although I came at them from different directions sometimes.
I didn't have the control descriptions so I wasn't sure where exactly control 11 was going to be. I thought that Mike probably placed it outside the fence, but I decided to go inside in case it was there on the day of competition.
Bad route choices to 6 and 16: I need more practice on sprinting.
