Event: Billygoat
Orienteering race 2:19:38 [4] 10.7 km (13:03 / km) +305m 11:25 / km
31st annual Billygoat. Pretty good run, although not too spunky through the woods. Lost a couple of minutes at #2, where instead of just following the stream of folks I listened to someone nearby who thought we were going too low and spent some time milling around. Skipped 4 and took left fork to #5, where I got frustrated by finding a likely looking boulder with a vetting streamer on it. Then ok, and mostly by myself, until catching up with J-J and Stephen around #10, then following a distant Jim Henderson and Pete Bunschuh on the long trail route to #13, and eventually getting into a big pack, including Tony Federer, Steve Tarry, Paul Bennett, Phil Bricker and a few others. When the pack broke up after #20 I stayed with Steve T, and lost about a minute to others who seem to have gone the long way around on the trail. Pack of 7 at the penultimate control, of whom I was 7th, but had a nice finishing sprint to lead them all in.
Note
Victory for Erik today at the Billygoat, the most prestigious orienteering event in this hemisphere. Nicely done!
