Orienteering race 47:22 [4] *** 2.7 km (17:33 / km)
spiked:21/23c
Ran the sprint on campus at Indiana University during the Flying Pig. No problems navigating until control 10. I headed in the right direction, then thought it didn't look right and went back. Stood there a while and determined that I had headed correctly after all. Cost me at least 5 minutes--maybe more. No other problems after that, except for about a minute locating a control when I was standing in the correct place.
Even so, I got first place in my class. Didn't find this out until two days later--what a surprise.
Earlier, about noon , we did the model event at Yellowood Forest to check out the terrain. Seven controls. No problems finding any of them. The first few were in lots of nasty brush, and we sampled some steep hills. A good experience.
