Boulder Dash Blue, Day 1.
A good race, though sloppy. A little fast and loose on the first control--maybe 1-2 minutes? Clean to two when I saw Alexei who started (I found out later) 5 minutes ahead. Would see him off and on continously.
Generally orienteered OK--I would take trail routes whenever possible and get ahead of Alexei. I would inevitably let him catch back up going into controls. We were probably running similiar speed in the forest and I was probably faster on trails, but sloppiness at controls killed me.
Of course, we both ran by the penultimate contol and I then spent a really long time trying to find the GO control and he finished nicely ahead of me. I think I lost at least 30 seconds (maybe a minute) on the GO control--I was well ahead of him going to it.
