orienteering 1:39:50 [3] *** 4.46 km (22:23 / km) +60m 20:58 / km
8c (injured) shoes: adidas Response Trail XII 0867
While it was nice to be back in the Gatineau, the vegetation growth in the white map reminded me why we don't have orienteering meets in the summer. The bugs were bad. I had no repellant but don't think I was bitten. I tried the winter routes off-trail to control 1 and lost 25 minutes there. I didn't find tape at control 3 but I may have been messed up. There was no tape at 8 but none is needed.
Even with my knee-driven slow pace, my navigation was poor through first four controls.
Even though I need lots of training to get back in form, I felt that was enough time in the woods.
