Orienteer 1:01:00 [3] 4.5 mi (13:33 / mi)
shoes: Inov8 road
Great day orienteering if you just forget about one huge mistake and a few little ones. I had large error at 3 to 4 where I should have been running 2 to 3. Cost me a lot of time cause its not easy to relocate at Moreau!
Rest of the controls were reasonable, some super fun ones, a few where I was surprised and relieved to find controls where I was looking. I placed well out of any medals- but I think this may be one of my favorite areas so it only just dented my mood for a bit. Of course checking splits might dent it some more but I hope not.
I need to train harder at orienteering if I want to be competitive. Will have to decide how committed I am to that. Or how I would even do it. Or what my goals even are.
Robins orange course was hardest orange I have ever seen. She got one control, #3, and then took the safety bearing after about 2 hours. None of the Forange made it in, I think. I was happy I explained safety bearing to her this morning!
