Orienteering 2:53:53 [3] 14.0 km (12:25 / km)
shoes: Inov8 X-talon 225
1428 points from a possible 2222 or 22 of 37 controls.
I'm please with my effort. My goal was to be safe and navigate well. I modified my route at the end to go wide and pick up more controls and my time was well managed.
My plan was to stay off the mountain as much as possible and make a counter clockwise route around it. I'm glad I went the way I did to get the large rocks out of the way early. This gave me easier terrain late in the race.
I botched my leg from 69 to 40. Feeling unsure of my exact position I decided to bail and head east to 75. Within 25 paces I spotted a control that was still 40-50 paces away. It was 75. I felt good about my correction and moved on to 84.
Overall a perfect training day for next week's Crooked Compass. This may be the worst conditioning I've had going into this 8hr event but I feel good about what I set for goals over the past 3 weeks and how I have managed them. The trick will be to manage my effort next Saturday and not let my competitive part burn me out before the finish.
