Orienteering race (Ward Pound Ridge) 44:29 [3] 3.8 km (11:42 / km) +120m 10:07 / km
slept:3.0
#1: Split was 3:06. Could have been about 1:30. Next time, take azimuth, hit wall, then run down until it bends.
#2: Split was 5:44. Next time, follow azimuth (easy terrain) and slow down after crossing two paths and intersecting a trail. Look for wall and find point.
#3: Slow, but no huge improves.
#4: Ran south along stream, but had no concept of distance, so I wasn't sure how far to go. Redo running pace count. Also, realize that point was at intersection f second rock wall and stream. Split: 6:01. Possible: 4:00, easy.
#5: Easy to find. Just move faster.
#6: Did not follow azimuth as closely as I should have. Split: 5:54. Should have been much faster.
#7: Just pay attention to walls, once again. No serious issues with point.
#8: Easy to find in the crosshairs of two walls. Hill slowed me.
#9-Finish: Smooth sailing.
I noticed that I was taking a lot of time at each point to reorient myself. In my AAR, Jess suggested figuring out which direction the next point is in and immediately beginning to walk in that direction. Her tip definitely helped on Sunday. I also need to work on thumbing.
