Event: US Two-day Classic O Championships
 

Very tough orienteering. One major disaster, on a 1.2 km leg through very complex terrain with many parallel swamps and lines of cliffs, that made it difficult to relocate once I lost contact with the map. That error was frustrating but kind of excusable, because it was indeed a tough leg. While I was wandering around lost, another orienteer, on Green Y (M-Green) came up to me and asked "Could you tell me where we are on the map?", and my answer was very easy: "I have no idea!"

Also lost some time on the next to last control, which was non-trivial but really not all that tough. I just relaxed and took it way too lightly.

Other than that, no big errors, but very slow and cautious, especially after the disaster on control 3.

Last I looked, I was 13th out of 23 in M60.

Walk to Day 1 start.
