Orienteering 1:46:21 [3] 3.0 mi (35:27 / mi) +640ft 29:30 / mi
Control Pickup
9 Controls; 3.4 km
Actual Distance Traveled: 4.8 km
Controls in the order the I picked them up: 124, 126, 121, 120, 116, 113, 110, 115, 118
Total Time: 1:46:21
Moving Time: 1:26:02
I was worn out after walking the blue course. I managed to pick probably the most difficult section of controls to pickup. I had to stop at each control to pick it up plus I stopped at least 3 more times to have a bite of a granola bar and a drink of water, hence the big difference between total and moving time: about 20 minutes.
115 was supposed to be a water control but there weren't any water jugs or cups when I arrived at this control. 118 was a water control, there wasn't any water left but there were plenty of cups to clean up plus 2 empty 1 - gallon water jugs.
The only pleasant surprise was that I found 110 much easier than I did when I was walking the blue course and didn't have to force my way through any think vegetation to get to it.
Based on the course descriptions for this event this was probably about as difficult as the brown course.
