Orienteering race (SFSU) 18:21 [5] **** 4.15 km (4:25 / km) +18m 4:20 / km
22c shoes: Adidas Thrasher 2 M
Sprint the Golden Gate Stage 5: San Francisco State University.
A technically challenging urban sprint through a maze of complex-geometry buildings at SF State. Felt refreshing after yesterday's Sheep-O. I was doing a lot of pre-reading throughout the race, determining my route-choices to the next one or two controls well in advance. It worked really well until I missed a passageway on the way to #15 and ended up taking a long, roundabout route. Still shell-shocked, I ran into a dead end on the way to #16 and had to double back. Those two errors combined cost me about a minute, and in a rapid-fire sprint like this one, seconds are precious indeed. I need to work on staying focused at all times, even when pre-reading the next leg...
