orienteering 47:21 [4] 4.5 km (10:31 / km)
shoes: Integrators
Day 1 (of 2) of qualifying for the WMOC.
One of the least pleasant courses I have run in recent times. Part of it can be blamed on the cows, or more accurately thier absence. They were supposed to have grazed the open areas, but the schedule got mixed up and they never showed. So the open areas were knee to waist high grass (for me, mid-calf for others....). The wooded areas, where the cows wouldn't have gone, were usually knee to waist-high other alien vegetation hiding various deadfall.
Would not have been so bad with a late start, but I was off first in my class. Ran hard in the pastures anyway, but the woods were terrible and I spent a lot of time walking. But managed to find the controls ok, just one small error not seeing a control in the tall grass on my first pass. So mission accomplished. Don't know what I finished, was third when I left.
Results are supposed to be on the WMOC page at some point. I'm in M60-2. Top half make the A final, best start last. Goal is to get a reasonably late start tme for the final.
