Event: NEOC: 2014 Troll Cup
10 AM
Orienteering race 46:02 [3] 2.58 mi (17:51 / mi) +10m 17:38 / mi
NEOC A meet at Townsend and on a cold morning, thin sun thru the pines at the finish area. A nice, challenging course, I’d give me a B, blew 5’ on #7 by split comparison - was doing just fine til then. Left 6 NNW for the wet reentrant (should have gone over top at Scott & Tony did). Halfway there, for some reason - the fact that the map may have been turned & that the line continuing to 7 was broken (for detail preservation) might have had something to do with it, I headed off for #6. Went maybe 100m, caught my error & returned to the reentrant which wasn’t really giving me the feedback I was looking for as it did not seem to have water feature quality - but it did have boulders. In fact, I did ID early the biggest (denoted by a fairly small symbol on the map) but could not place others nearby, giving me an uneasy feeling. Tony passed by - I gave him a whiny question and similar for Ernst going 90 deg different. Anyway, finally I spotted the string of 3 additional boulders I needed to feel secure & went to the point.
Very pedantic on the way to 1. I did not appreciate the green detail/accuracy as much as others indicated on most of the legs. Got the map wet on a stream crossing just before 9. Lower map was pretty well saturated before departing the meet site, even tho sealed. Saw Tony near 8 and 9 with minor fumbling at the latter (circle is centered on a reentrant and code says “spur”).
A long run-in, O Ringen-like in length. Certainly losing map contact was costly, if not fatal. Missed a few splits on the 305. Beth was attending a course on “mindfulness” - something I need to pursue as well
(tho it’s been a time consumer for her for 8 weeks).
