Orienteering race 1:51:12 [4] 6.4 km (17:22 / km) +290m 14:10 / km
Again, happy with this race. I nabbed silver, mainly because I stuck it out. There were quite a few DNFs, but I told myself to just carry on, and I did. Didn't have any navigational issues until #8...again. I was heading right on line to it, but passed a control on a small cliff with guys punching in. Of course, I had to find the cliff on my map, but could not. There was a cliff a ways away, and I started panicking that I had gotten so far off. Oh no, where was I?
I took a few more steps in the original direction of my control and saw someone punching in...it was in a ditch. Phew! After I got my map back and compared with Jim Hall's, I saw that the cliff was hidden by my control number for 8. It sure would have been nice if that number had been moved just a bit so as not to cover the cliff.
I was absolutely thoroughly exhausted after this. I think I fell asleep by 9:30.
