Orienteering race 1:38:21 [4] 6.13 mi (16:03 / mi) +364m 13:33 / mi
20c shoes: Salomon Speed Cross 4
First time orienteering in rocky terrain. I had a very hard time distinguishing rocks/cliffs/knolls and what was/wasn't mapped. So it didn't go that well, but it was good training.
3 - Overshot.
5 - Overshot.
7 - I was too high on the slope, found a different flag, and corrected.
8 - Left the road way too early. Dumb mistake.
9 - Ended up at 10. Had to go all the way back down the hill and then all the way back up...
Slowed down at this point to get a better feel for how everything was mapped. It helped. After 11 I picked it up again and things went much better.
