Orienteering race 49:05 [4]
Middle course. Very flat terrain was very intimidating. Big error at 4 - thought I had a good attack point, but veered well right, down to bay - confused. Onto correct peninsula, still confused. Found it. Rest of course was cautious,with truly good luck at 5, 7, and 9. Twice was relying solely on light trail; missed it - should have been reading other features as well. Read dry blue areas rather well. Okay result (3 sec off 1st in M55) - tough for most.
Orienteering race 14:46 [5]
My best sprint ever - on same terrain as AM mediocrity. Point and run worked well; but did make several minor effective route choices. Ran Yellow 2-3 and 4-5 - where looking ahead to rest of course really helped build confidence and flow later. Admittedly, lots of people on single course did help pace and confidence.
