Orienteering race 5:51:16 [2]
Hickory Hop Mini-Rogaine - wow that's a lot of green - good thing it still corresponds quite well to the few years old map. Made a really silly excursion through a lot of green on the way to my first control, getting behind a lot of people, and was very inefficient for no good reason on my third and fourth controls but steadied down thereafter and had few technical problems worse than minor failures to spike controls once inside the circle. Cleaned Map A in 3:15 and decided to hold out for a possible if unlikely cleaning of Map B by going all the way out to the two westernmost controls. Ended up having to give up on visiting three controls in the eastern half of the map to get in with just under four minutes to spare (I subtracted five minutes from my time for logging purposes to allow for time off my feet during the map exchange/refueling stop).
