Pretty good race.

Took it quite slow and safe. Never pushed too hard keeping in mind how long the course was. Took safe routes the entire time, sometimes ridiculously safe.

I think the orienteering was easier than it looks on the map. Except for maybe around my control 10 where it was super vague and there were a lot of cuttings on the ground.

Made a lot of small mistakes, especially in the end when I was quite tired.

Satisfied considering it was my first 10mila, and that it was the longest non-ultra I've ever done. Ran around 3/4 of it alone too.

Managed to move up 7 places. It was really nice coming into the finish being cheered on by other GMOKers and hearing that we were the best 3rd team. :)

More detailed entry and map to come...I promise.

Paired star o-tervals. It was a bit too much standing around and made for a long session (>2hrs?). Really fun though.
