Orienteering race 1:18:15 [4]
QOC Occoquan score-O - a Sid Sachs special, not so much as course setter as in his capacity as mapper. He apparently had decent contour data from the county but only covering ~2/3 of the area and had trouble aligning it with the less good data available for the whole area so he just used the latter. Big time loss on the second control nevertheless mostly my fault but the ninth control was what really killed me and it was clearly, going by GPS data, mapped as being about 60 meters west of where it really was. Oh well, it's a lovely, if small, area (which has me reconsidering whether another small area I was thinking I might map for low key training events might be large enough for a regular season event after all). We'll just have to fix the contours and sic someone with greater fieldchecking ability than Sid on it before the next use.
