Orienteering race 1:45:43 [2] *** 4.05 mi (26:07 / mi) +257m 21:49 / mi
spiked:14/18c
Flying Pig at Mounds - Green Middle Distance
Went around too many reentrants on the way to C3 before cutting down. It took some time to figure out what had happened, so I was in a hole early. Also had a miss on C8, but C11 was bad: I made it through the corn fields nicely, but when I angled toward the control, I was too far right and misread the ditches that crossed the trail. Went down too far before really checking with the compass and realizing the lake was in the wrong place, so back up, over and back down.
That put me 8 minutes behind schedule, but the next legs were shorter and I stayed more focused, to finish well under the 2-hour time that I didn't want to be over.
