O in The Oaks, Pacheco Stae Park - South of San Jose CA - Long
An early start and quite the walk and climb to the start - so well warmed up but still feeling a weak hamstring in my left leg. Interesting as there was some mist on the top so long visibility was not very good for the first few controls, still it meant it was not too hot. Hesitant for the first control, then decided to contour for the second and almost made a 90 deg error thinking I was at the second path - probably should have taken the path instaed wevn with the extra climb. Saw Bruce Wolfe just ahead after 4, he went low and I headed up to the path - a slight error at the end, so I reckon both options were pretty much even. Brutal climbs to both 6 and 7. Orienteering not too technical if reading contours carefully, but fitness definitely not up to such a physical course - walked alot.
