Orienteering 1:15:00 [3] 3.0 mi (25:00 / mi)
A really bad day of orienteering--nothing physical, but surely I didn't have my head screwed on straight. And, truth be told, I haven't done much orienteering, especially in technical terrain as we had today.
First, I was late getting ready and getting on the bus. When I got off the bus, the time was 9:52 a.m., and my start was 10:16, and I had to get there ASAP, so I hustled up the hill, walking only the real steep sections. Made it on time, but I was a bit flustered by it all.
And then, rather that really concentrating on the map and walking to the first control, I tried running and was soon well beyond the control. In fact, I eventually found #2 before I got to 1. A horrible start, which kind of zapped my enthusiasm, to say the least.
But, I did manage to get around the complete course, just not in a decent time.
