Orienteering 1 [1]
weight:179lbs
Brown - middle...started out towards #1 but got so distracted by my pants being loose and feeling like they were falling down that I stopped and then went blank as to where I was. So, after cinching and rearranging, I headed back to the start for a do over.
Orienteering race (Brown) 57:36 [3] *** 3.4 km (16:56 / km) +140m 14:03 / km

FR = 3.38 miles with 82m climb
Off again...pants stayed up...was surprised that my time was under an hour, even with the 11+ minutes included for the restart. I felt like I had bumbled around so much.
Tracks show that I was really close the first time to 1, just 20m short. Oh, well, better to reset when you have no idea.

More a middle than a sprint, and very technical. Ran into and with a train from 7 on, including Tom N. Even Tom has to agree that he maybe mispunches more than his fair share. So, with that in mind, I reminded him to check his codes, and he did, only they were from his earlier race. He sorted that cleanly and we had a bit of a battle near the end, mostly with him leading and me hanging in the best I could. Coming out of 12, I was so gleeful of my clean line to the Finish and waited there for Tom to come in. Heehee. And, then karma hit me in the butt. I skipped the last control. Not sure if Tom knew that at the time or not, but either well, it was well played. Obviously, I need more practice head to head. Despite the mp, the last part of the course was a blast.
