Orienteering race (sprint) 20:05 [4] *** 2.1 km (9:34 / km) +40m 8:44 / km
spiked:14/16c shoes: Jala Jukola Spider 6 #3
TT-women's sprint course north/northwest of Lake Welch Beach, 1:4000. We were able to watch the TT-ers visit a few controls that were visible from the parking lot, which helped (hey, use the information if it's available, right?). In particular, we could see both men and women visit one bare rock / cliff face at the far end of the lot. After I got my control descriptions I noted #3 was "bare rock, SE side", and once I flipped over my map I confirmed that was the one. Then I proceeded to flub the first control, a cliff, visiting the men's control (in a reentrant which had a rock face), but I quickly corrected. Went mostly smoothly from there, though several people with more speed passed me here and there. I overran the "white corridor" into 13 (a little corner at the E end of a thicket) and came around from the far end, so a little hesitation there. But I didn't skip any controls (yay! no mispunch), and didn't finish last, both of which were goals for this race. :-)
