Orienteering 1:11:33 8.57 km (8:21 / km) +638ft 7:30 / km
ahr:169 max:181
red at breakheart. by ben standards, pretty clean. no epic mistakes come to mind, only one major mistake one (10), and two minor ones (4,9), i think
woo
1) clean. felt good to start clean
2) took a few steps to the west, then reevaluated quickly. a little overly direct on the approach, but okay (5s)
3) decent. (30s) bobble in the middle, but it was from thinking and saving myself from a bigger mistake
4) should've taken the eastern route along the road. more importantly, i shouldn't've overrun my target. (2:00)
5) idiotic exit from 4 (30s), and going high over the cliffs was stupid (45s)
6) good clean fun
7) cleanish, but came out futher down the road than i intended to (15s) bitchin' 20ft log run for style points, though.
8) easy contol, bit of a gimme
9) confusing trail network out of 8, but i think i did a decent job of it. overall poor decision to stay down near the lake, pretty steep exit to the road. (30s?) should've gone right at the control, coming from the hilltop just to the north was a great way to find some impressively healthy greenbriar (15s)
10) the big screwup of the day. totally at the wrong turn in the road, then totally went the wrong way on a brand-new trail (in progress, work team and all. arguably there was no 'right' way) (2:00) started on the direct route, found a huuuge bog, and backed out along the trail. had a bit of a ponder (30s) where the other end of the new trail met with what i was looking for. made an unnecessary lap of the cliff (15s)
11) happy with this one. steamrolled some plants, but they should've moved.
12) cut in early to the wrong boulder, but otherwise good (15s)
13) clean
14) had a brief case of the stupids coming out of 13. a little overconfident at recognizing trails (20s)
15) good, could've taken a more direct exit out of 14, thought
F) and the trundle home!
8:10 total mistakes. original guess was 5 minutes, but it's damn well better than usual, and on a harder, longer course.
