Orienteering 2:15:00 [3]
NAOC Blue long. 12.7 km in 1:57:50
Felt tired and slow warming up and my energy level didn't improve during the race. I couldn't really take advantage of the trail legs the way I would like. On the plus side, I didn't let it bother me and just kept working from one control to the next.
Other than some pauses in the control circle I was pretty clean. At least I didn't have to go on any searches or do any relocating. I was much more disciplined than yesterday about visualizing what I was going to see.
3 major route choice errors and one minor route choice error probably cost me about 5-6 minutes. They were my usual type of route choice error -- when I am tired I make choices to save energy that often turn out to do exactly the opposite.
The infamous C23 caused a significant pause when I read the depression then big hill just before the control and thought I was at the correct spot. Luckily, I pressed forward a bit a found it. This cause a little confusion on the way to C24 but I lucked out again because I had used the hill at C24 as an attackpoint for C4; thus, I was able to recognize the features and correct.
Overall, a fun day. Not a spectacular result but not bad either. Like yesterday, I thought this was a really fun place to run and would love to return.
