Socially distanced orienteering event at Ioco. I had so much fun. I had never actually been on the map before because it was made while I was living in Hamilton. It was the first technical orienteering I had done in months and the woods were open, quiet, and not buggy. I tried to take mostly straight routes just for the joy of it. My legs were definitely not used to the terrain running though. Everything went cleanly until control 11 when my mind started to wander back to what I needed to do for school this week and I lost the plot of the leg. I started out in the right direction, made a bizarre 90 degree turn, and then didn't interpret that I needed to go down instead of uppish. I wandered around up on the hillside and relocated several times but didn't believe my relocation or act on it. Definitely a bit rusty on that part! It was a lovely hillside though. There are worse places to spend a few extra forest minutes.
Still, I enjoyed this outing so much. It was such a gorgeous day and it was nice to see a few people I hadn't seen since Sprint Camp or before!
