A sunny day in Pawtuckaway!!!
Got up, had coffee, picked up the white/yellow/vampire controls from yesterday. Ate breakfast, packed up the campsite, then Tora, Ryan and I went for a road ride around Pawtuckaway, through Nottingham, Deerfield and Raymond. Gorgeous roads, houses, farms, fields! Thought it was only going to take about an hour, ended up being longer! Got back with just barely enough time to change, stuff some food and do a 3k long Brown course with Tora before everything was all packed up!
Orienteering race (brown course) 33:00 [4] *** 3.0 km (11:00 / km)
ahr:161 max:180
My mom and dad had also ran this course earlier in the day while we were out riding, so we had goals of doing this course in 30min (10min/km and 13mins faster than dad!) We ended up with 33mins, still getting dad by 10mins and just over 10min/k isn't bad for pawtuckaway! esp after not orienteering for a very long time. And running on fumes for sleep. and tora prancing around marshes not wanting to get her feet wet!
It was a fun run, dragging tora around the woods! I really want her to orienteer, she'd be so good! except for the whole spider thing..
Orienteering 20:00 [2]
I was designated to pick up some controls on the Big Island, so after Tora and I got back from our run, I had to go out into spiderland again. I hate the big island and I was feeling quite tired from everything, so in all my whining adn complaining, apparently i convinced mom adn dad to help me out adn we split up the controls so i only had to run out for three, a short out and back along the main hillside in there. What a mess. Some of that woods is SO nice, runnign along the swamp, but that whole hillside where the cliffs are is just way too thick for any enjoyable orienteering.
I decided to do the thick area stuff first so i could just cruise back along the swamp, and that felt so good to sprint through terrain! I wish i could wear orienteering shoes again, that would be that much better.
