At Great Falls NP.

Right ankle sore enough that it was a bit of a distraction while running. Wore Active Ankle to try to avoid catastrophic damage. Orienteering was OK. Bad route choice on #8 (dropped downhill through medium green all the way to the trail, trying to reduce sidehilling which was bothering my ankle). Saw the bag at #13 as I headed up the hill but then chased another bag until I figured it out. Probably lost 2 min on 8 and 1 - 1.5 min on 13. Finished 3rd (for the day and 2-day total) in M60,12th on Green for the day.

Hay Creek - Day 2 Green X - Splits

Event: DVOA Fall Orienteering Festival
 

Green X course on French Creek North as part of DVOA Fall Festival. Gorgeous day, 50's and sunny - not your typical November day. Woods were quite open. Nice course by Sandy F with plenty of French Creek challenges. A decent run but speed was a bit hampered by sore tendons in my right ankle. Was being extra cautious in rocky areas to minimize tweaking the ankle. Lost a couple of minutes on #3 finding the depression just outside the circle and taking a bit to figure out what was going on. Had trouble seeing the what was going on in the campground area for #13 with the connecting line and control circle blending in with the map detail. About 7th on Green X, 3rd in M60.

Straightline 5.5km, 145m climb.

Minor, minor gripe - I had to weave around three recreational groups on my way to #1. While I don't think it cost me any time, it certainly was a distraction. The recreational start window only partially overlapped the competitive start window, so earlier starters did not have this distraction.
