Event: US S/M/L Champs 2011 & WRE
Orienteer (Sprint) 32:33 [3] 2.3 mi (14:09 / mi)
shoes: Icebug Spirit-L olx
Got off to a very slow start, I knew the scale was 1:5000 but things sure did appear quickly! and so I was over my hill already and thinking.... "what's wrong here?" and Ithought maybe I was inverting depressions into hills in my head. Put on the glasses. No. But after that things got better (how could they not!!) Never really got fast and made a couple of other mistakes so it was never a "sprint". BUT.... fun, good sprint location, lots of boulders and rock face, paths and green and buildings and fields. A few times things came together quite nicely (slower than I would like though)
There did seem to be an awful lot of people running the green course (men and women had same course). It was hard to try to concentrate on my map; especially since at times I was more confident in other people than in myself.... but I mostly resisted.
Looking at placement though, no way I could have caught up to peggyd's time even if I made no mistakes, and the next person came in within a minute of me (in the F50+) , so I will be grateful for the small class and 2nd place.
Lots more o-ing this weekend. YAY :)
