Orienteering race (Middle) 1:07:28 [3] 4.6 mi (14:40 / mi) +270m 12:24 / mi
shoes: Inov-8 330 Mudclaw
Nice hilly forested terrain. Realized at control 3-4-5 that my eyes weren't seeing the brown contour lines very well. Looks like it's time I bring either reading glasses or a magnifying lens. Overshot 6 and went downhill, only to realize it was uphill: painful climb back up to punch it. For 7, it was a disaster, and totally got wrong on my assumptions on where I was.
On the long leg 12-13, went uphill and stayed on the high ridge to then descend. Had some concerns about figuring which marsh to look into, and was careful in slowing down and reading the map and recognizing terrain features. Maybe going downhill to the trail and attacking from there might have been better.
