To arena for sprint qualifiers in Hørsholm, not taking the optimum route at one point because we thought we could cut through. Not on the competition map at all, just not sure where to go.

W65-3 heat for sprint Q, starting at 2:55 pm on a warm, sunny day (whatever 25C is, close to 80 I think). Shade came at a premium but we found some close by.

Almost mp'ed when I started heading to #4 before 3 but they were close together. No great difficulties with this map; no traps, just route choice decisions. Tomorrow will be different.

I finished in 23rd place afaik, and top 26 or 27 move to A final, so I think I'm in. :-)

(Started my watch late at #2 so edited time to reflect actual.)

To start. Forgot to turn on watch so time estimated.

Back to car after we got maps when they were released.

Indoor sprint results

winsplits for my class

Fun indoor sprint at Nærum Gymnasium (high school) in Nærum, Denmark. I finished 18th of 50-some people running the "oldies" course which had ideally no more than 6 stair climbs*, and 13 controls. 1:700 map scale. Control descriptions were fun with a piano designated by a symbol that looked like a few keys on a keyboard. :-) The first control was a short leg to a toilet stall

It was very tricky with blocked passageways and rearranged tables creating difficult route choice decisions. I failed the test on 8-9 and especially 9-10, where after the race I found the optimum route. Winsplits shows that the best time for the route was probably about a minute and a half (the two people with times around 30 seconds probably cheated and ran the wrong way in the one-way corridor from my 9-10; the optimum route had too many zigs and zags and two staircases); I took over 9 minutes trying to figure it out.

I was in overall first place at one point until my booboos. I was stymied the most by the staircase mapping, where I thought the red meant I could only go the direction of the stairway arrow, when that wasn't always the case, and *took some routes around that I didn't need to.

Anyway, it was pretty awesome. A portion of one of the maps is on Instagram, here.

Hot and humid. Looking for shade but didn't find much. A light breeze from the N / NE helped.
