orienteering race (west pt middle #2) 1:21:24*** 3.07 mi (26:31 / mi) +725ft21:40 / mi ahr:115 max:145 spiked:7/12c slept:7.0 shoes: INOV8 OROC 340
Nominal 4.0 km. I think my routes on most legs were pretty good -- haven't really looked at alternatives yet. I got confused on 6-7 by an unmapped building so took a long route, and lost a couple minutes starting out on a bad route on 9-10. I felt distracted most of the race (nervous?), but focused much better than yesterday. Succeeded also on improved flow and going the direction my compass directed. I am trying to strike a balance between simplifying the map and not losing my place. Did pretty well at that today. Again, I'm having trouble distinguishing boulders, cliffs, boulder clusters, which cliff I'm looking at. I would have liked to have run more, but just couldn't - between the footing and trying to see the detail of the map; so I feel a little dissatisfied at the end. Finished 15 of 30 in the greens (M&F) 60% longer than the winning woman (Molly Kemp), #4 in my class and <10% longer than the winner (maprunner).

1st 6 min of track missing b/c I still don't know how to operate my watch. I did poorly in the rocky areas: blundered routes to 4 and 6, was led to most controls by others once I got anywhere close. Trouble with focus again. Enjoyed the legs on developed parts of campus. Finished 50/55 of greens (M/F), ~80% longer than 1st F Izzy B. 3rd in my class, 25% longer than barb.
