Red course at Sharon Woods, set by cedarcreek. Very nice course, with a lot of good terrain variability: open and semi-open fields, forest, thick vegetation, water, etc. And a great day to be outside. I lost probably 5 minutes on a stupid mistake between 7 and 8; and lost around 1 minute on an early leg, probably due mostly to some magnetic interference with my compass. But the effort was basically another great illustration of how out-of-shape I am.
BOK, Blue course, set by Joseph Hubermann. Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina, orienteering on a blue course, in Umstead, 54-degrees, partly sunny, well-placed controls (though frequently hidden behind unmapped features), and very few navigational errors. Great day!
