Yesterday's run was a treat! Talena and I managed to make it to Cheryl's Thursday night group for a 5-mile orienteering course. If you aren't familiar with the sport, you get a topographical map (ours included depictions of the streets but not the names/numbers) with numbered stops to find, and then a sheet that asks you questions of about each stop (number on the telephone pole on the NW corner, how many concrete columns are there, what does the sign say, etc.). You basically haul ass from one point to the other, and write down the answers to the questions. It's a fun interval/hill workout for sure, but man, was it hot out there! Regardless we had a great time and enjoyed the potluck afterward.
Here we are, just after we finished. And yes, we were very sweaty.
