Orienteering 2:14:02 [3] 7.78 mi (17:14 / mi)
shoes: Brooks Ghost 8
@ Little Bennett.
2nd orange attempt. I finished it and it was harder than the one I did a few weeks ago.
Slow going on the first 2 controls, getting the legs & head going.
Tried to run it at what I considered to be a regular long run pace, but I got tired at the end and started mis-reading the map.
Got completely turned around on control #9 - had to ask a bunch a people where I was to reorient myself.
Need to slow down on the running & improve accuracy, maybe go back to a beginner course and try pace counting/compassing? not quite sure.
Took a lesson from Mihai about precision compassing & route choice.
No regular long run today - enough!
