Orienteering 24:00 [2] 3.3 km (7:16 / km) +40m 6:51 / km
shoes: O-Inov8 Mudclaw 330
US Middle Champs Model event
Interesting terrain. High water, though pre-noted, was still surprising. Like the contoury terrain. Contour mapping not totally intuitive to me, but good enough. Avoiding all water/green and reading contours made for relatively simplifyable navigation
---
note for event itself
- rough/moderate compass, read contours, and plan to avoid stuff was about all that was needed, with some effort paid to picking medium vegetated routes (bottoms were better than tops) to avoid the slow sand open spaces, and the thicker sage. Shoes full of sand got annoying by the end, but overall I ran okay, and navigated well (<1 min. total I think) which was good for 2nd US in this lightly attended event...
