orienteering race 1:31:24 [4] *** 5.5 km (16:37 / km) +25m 16:15 / km
13c shoes: Inov8 O-roc 280
DVOA Four Mile Circle - Green
On way to start realized I forgot my Garmin, sitting on the dashboard acquiring satellites. Didn't feel like going back, so no GPS for Routegadget.
Normally fairly fast terrain, but the snow combined with the blueberries made things pretty tough. Lots of times felt like I was just slogging along.
Was OK up until 5, where I was slightly left and realized I was getting too far into the green stuff. Corrected and found it. Then 6, didn't see a real great attackpoint. Went in from the black x (sign) on the road and must have missed way left. Hit a trail and turned right, then came to the intersection SW of the control. Realized what I had done and found it on second attack.
The rest wasn't bad, just some hesitations in the fire ditches (even harder to see with the snow, and sometimes you couldn't tell what was a ditch and what was an elephant track)
