Event: Estabrook Woods
Orienteering 1:00:50 [4] 7.2 km (8:27 / km)
Red course at Estabrook Woods.
This was the most similar to orienteering in southern England that I've done so far in New England. Trail choices were important and was not too tricky. My biggest mistake was to the low-information control #9. I pace counted (100) and think that gave me the right distance, but a bit off to the east on the bearing, must have been pretty close, but kept going farther as opposed to believing in the pace count....
Also bad to 2, too far west, but relocated based on contour detail in not forever too long. Number 14, I opted for the swamp route, which wasn't terrible (knee-height only), but I didn't do a great job of putting things together on the other side, had gone farther south then I thought already.
All in all, better than last week's prologue for sure, and probably running a bit faster than the afternoon chase, I hope!
