orienteering race 1:38:54 [3]
DVOA local event at Mt. Penn - red course, 6.18k
I almost didn't go since I have never enjoyed a course on this map but Bob Meyer set an excellent course and I had a great time. I wasn't concentrating very hard and so I wandered a bit on a couple of controls. I totally confused myself out of #7 - I was expecting to see the terrain do one thing and it did something else and I couldn't reconcile things but since I was heading for a big field I didn't worry about it. I still can't figure out what I did but I hit the field not on the side I intended and could not get my head around the fact that I was 90 degrees off so had to stand in the corner of the field and force myself to adjust things in my brain - it just did not want to accept things. Weird.
Nothing hurt. Yay. The ground is pretty rocky there though and I didn't feel comfortable running in too many places.
