Orienteering race 1:24:23 **** 5.72 mi (14:45 / mi) +903ft 12:50 / mi
ahr:151 max:178 spiked:15/18c shoes: Salomon Speedcross 3
Fun course put on by Todd P at Interstate State Park in WI. Nice open woods. Plenty of opportunity at spots to carry speed off trail, with a little juking to go around small trees, etc. I was reasonably on the map most of the course but really blew some controls. #8, I was headed straight for it, caught a game trail and went off course a bit until I spotted the start area. Knew I was off, but had enough catching features that I opted for speed. I got sucked off between 12 and 13, caught myself and was happy to navigate off trail effectively, although this was a time killer for me. Leaving 13, really confused by the slew of hills with the same orientation. Stupid confusion. 3-400% over the fastest times. 15 was a tough control. Came up on the SouthEast side of the enroute hill, was on the map, then stumbled from hilltop to hilltop, etc. Pretty fast run to the finish.
Great course (again) with a few stumbles. Once we got to the rocky ascents/descents, I really slowed down to avoid an ankle/foot injury. Really enjoyed the through woods running.
