Orienteering race 49:51 3.89 mi (12:49 / mi) +179ft 12:17 / mi
ahr:157 max:210 shoes: Altra Lone Peak
Fun last race in the 2012 MNOC Adventure run series. #7 got me again. Not the best route choice to #9 or 12, but fastest of the bunch to the only non-reflector control. Little wins.
Off a little on #1. Followed the pack to #2, not sure it was the best route. #4 I was a bit west, orienting off the tree line. #5 I was just off. Thought I was perfect... but alas... #6 I orienteered with Ian. Great route. #7... if an easy route exists.... just take it. stupid me. Learned from week #2 and took the trail to #8, even though it was a long route. #9... it is just thick in there. I should have tried looked at alternate routes. Hindsight is 20:20. No issues on #10 or #11. #12 was just thick. I tried to use the hill as a handrail, but it was difficult to follow and distance was impossible to judge. Came out North of the control, which made for an easy attack point. I expected there to be 20 people waiting on me at the end. Happy it was only 4.
