Orienteering race (Red course) 2:04:13 [3] 6.59 mi (18:51 / mi) +1040ft 16:24 / mi
slept:6.0 shoes: Salomon Speedcross (2017-Navy)
This was longer and much more technical than yesterday's course. I really enjoyed it.
I had one big error on the super-long leg to #8. Across more than a mile, I was following my plan (running along the ridge) -- but then at the very end I ran down the wrong spur and turned off too soon into the wrong dry stream -- DOH! I even saw a mapped water tank and couldn't make sense of it -- just continued to plow on in the wrong direction. I finally hit a fence and figured it out. :-P
I took the long way around spurs a few times, to avoid extra up-down.
I liked this course a lot.
