Orienteering race (3 Green Day 2) 1:28:00 [3] 5.6 km (15:43 / km)
13c shoes: 340 ORoc 2011
Control #1 missing, nailed it on careful approach, no bag, checked surrounding features, everything matched. Kristen showed up 3-4 minutes later, confirmed everything matched so on we went, in my case quite hesitantly.
Slow & cautious for a few but no issues, a little S of circle in the rocks on 5, maybe 90s lost. 6 fine but slow due to vision (wet glasses), 7 ok but very slow since I recognized great potential to blow it big time and vegetation made reading terrain dicey in my half blind state. #8 I attacked from knoll with boulder right into reentry but saw no flag checked a little south down to stream then worked back, reattacking from boulder and found it 2nd time - case of woods blindness.. 5min lost. Dropped down and found nice runnable woods just above lake shore and attacked from distinct knoll near small marsh, confirmed by visual to island. Slow up the hill but nailed it. Didn't see indistinct trail on map so rather than climb thru potentially vagus terrain I elected shortest route to campground and ran around cutting corner thru westernmost loop. Running fairly well on road and a brainless attack from below. Final three very routine slowed only by fatigue and some negotiation of greener bits in the way.
