orienteering 1:04:00 [3]
Felt okay for the first about 50 minutes, then lousy. Combination of being out of shape and in the heat. Doesn't bode too well for the Billygoat ... just hoping that it is about 50 degrees that day!
Navigation was a bit sluggish, but okay. Big problem was stupidity: leaving the road crossing I read the 8 as a 6, and in spite of thinking, gee have I done that many controls already, I headed off. Got in the circle before I noticed it was an 8 not a 6 (overprinted on a marsh, and I am pretty sure I am going to need reading glasses at my next eye appointment ... but still stupid) ... then had to go a long way to get to 5, where I should have headed. Ah well. Judging from Peggy's splits, I think I lost around 7-8 minutes. Not stellar, but the rest was okay.
