Event: QOC Manassas

Orienteering 1:34:04 7.04 mi (13:22 / mi) +70m 12:58 / mi
ahr:159 max:171
QOC Manassas Blue
Was unsure what course to do. It was a cool, grey day -- snowing a little toward the end of the event. The course setters notes threatened us with 4 foot deep river crossings. I haven't run much the last couple month, but I had plenty of time to kill before my flight out. I threw caution to the wind and did the Blue, and glad I did.
I tried to keep moving the same pace as much as possible. Hills were mild. Tall grass and large blow down areas were the only obstacles. No spring vegetation yet to speak of, so visibility was good. There were many people there, but I seemed to be alone at more than half the controls. It was fun in open areas to see a dozen or more novice orienteers wandering around in their winter coats and mittens.
The orienteering was relatively easy. I was happy with my result. I ran a good training pace the entire way. Fast enough for a good workout, but didn't injure myself. Ended up with a time about 150% of the winner, which is fine for me considering I wasn't racing.
The event was in Manassas Battle field park. This is a National Monument -- the first major battle of the civil war took place here. The confederates sent the federalists running back to Washington after one day, with their tails between their legs. There was a second battle here the following year. It lasted days, and many lives were lost. Again the confederates won the battle and then set their sites on the northern capitol Washington. I'll leave the rest as extra credit work for you.

Note
Orienteering in the morning in VA. I have not run much the last month, but tempted to do the blue course. I can't wait to see what I decide to do....
