Orienteering race 1:05:19 [4] *** 3.5 km (18:40 / km) +130m 15:44 / km
spiked:5/8c slept:8.0
Day 1 Brown Y US Champs Pound Ridge NY.
Generally a pretty good day. I was certainly able to read the map much better than yesterday. Lost a minute or two on 1. Was on the spur just north of where the control was, but figured it out fairly quickly. Bigger 6 minute error on 5. Aimed off too far to the left coming down to the road, and turned left ( when I should halve turned right). Saw a trail just before the bend and it seemed to match up (although there was supposed to be water at the trail junction, and none was there.). However, I made the map fit the terrain until the trail petered out at a pond. Oh, oh! Decided to go back to the main trail, but as I was running back, I found the pond and realized what I had done, but I wasted about 6 minutes or so. However, I'm only 5 minutes out of second, so not in too bad a shape.
Beautiful woods and day. Lots of fun.
