Orienteering race 2:20:36 [4]
I orienteered much more confidently today but still two major errors. My legs were very tired and knees very tight from Saturday. Long course included lots of trail running - my running was pretty slow.
Lost 5 minutes on #4 due to route choice. I didn't expect green off trail to be SO nasty and missed the one easy place to sneak through. Slow through green and then extra distance when pushed right into open woods - good map contact.
#7; Good route and attack point. First lost 2-3 minutes going up wrong trail and back-tracked. From AP, dead-fall pushed me left - when I got to re-entrant, I must have been far left. Had trouble orienting map to ground. Eventually got back to trail - should have returned MUCH sooner. Chose new AP further up trail - worked! I expected 8 minute error, closer to 13 - ouch!
Overall, map-reading, route choice, and execution were pretty consistent today.
