orienteering warm up/down 22:49 [1] 0.85 km (26:47 / km) +9m 25:26 / km
Walk/jog to start. Stopped watch then out to road and back again, trying to get some feeling into my very cold and numb feet.
orienteering race 1:52:54 [4] 8.77 km (12:52 / km) +163m 11:47 / km
map with route
1) Left route was better, but didn't notice that. Right ankle hurt like crazy whenever I tried to move above a jog, so resigned myself to a long morning.
2) Got caught in some very slow stuff near the end of route. Decided to try and stay out of green as much as possible,...
3) so took long trail route
4) 3 to trail was a lot of briars and very slow. Mistake in the control circle, but figured it out pretty quickly and successfully ignored a couple of people to the east.
5) Should have gone straighter to trail, almost got stuck in the creek. Most of the route was just trying to keep track of the trails. Went around at end to avoid dark green. Got to correct boulder and failed to see the control. Thought I must have been at boulder to south-west, so headed off. Looked back to check where that boulder was, and saw the control. Oops!
6) Got very confused at top of hill, decided to head east and down hill to trail to relocate. But paid attention on the way down in case I was on the trail I had been aiming for. Luckily I was and spotted the control.
7) Didn't see the small trail on the map or the in the terrain at first. Spotted it on the map after passing it, and cut across.
8) Left trails for a bit and don't think it paid off. Not sue what I was thinking when I went all the way around to 8 (?)
9) Needed to pay a lot of attention in the open area to get on the right trails.
10) Left hand trail route to 10, I know some people went right but I think left was the right choice.
11) Ankle super sore by now and couldn't maintain much speed. Easy control.
12) Again paying attention to correct trail.
13) Didn't check out control description, went down to road. Regardless, should have gone east to trail instead of north.
14) Too busy berating myself for stupidity at 13 to pay much attention to where I was going. Poor route, but at least I got there without too much time lost.
15) Very little energy left, but I least I knew where to go.
