orienteering race 37:15 [3]
What a fun, fun map. Really hard to decipher up/down/hill/reentrant for the first bit but the woods were so clean and it was all about reading the map and not getting into the wrong set of hills and reentrants. A little tentative and not completely clean but always able to stop and figure out what I had done and where I was. But boy was it good to have that magnifier! Without it I would probably still be wondering around in there.
Had a lot of trouble getting down the steep hill to get out of that section but eventually slid down and then went on a compass bearing on the longish leg through the flat stuff. I wasn't positive where I was as I was going but thought I was holding a decent line and just figured I'd sort it out when I got to the hill on the other end. As it turned out, the little hill I thought I might be on was the hill I was on and the spur I thought be crossing was the spur I was crossing and I came out right in front of the reentrant with my control. And then it was just some straightforward legs with a very steep hill right before the end.
Couldn't really run a whole lot - too steep going up to run, too steep going down to run and the flatish section was just thick enough to make running hard too. Pushed where I could but others pushed harder.
