Event: WOC 2019 - Norway
2 PM
Orienteering 1:48:04 ***** 5.0 mi (21:37 / mi) +336m 17:53 / mi
ahr:140 max:176 17c shoes: Salomon Speedcross 4 - Gray2
Mad props to all the woc athletes, most of whom did this in a third the time or less! This terrain is brutal physically and navifatuonally tough. Marshes are almost indistinguishable until you sink into them. Rocks everywhere, only the biggest of which are mapped. Scrubby bushes covering almost every inch.
Huge mistake on 3, with almost every reentrant having its own flag. Another on 6 where I overshot and hadn’t figured out cliff sizing yet. Got cleaner after that and was able to trot okay. I would have benefited immensely from getting out on a model map, so hopefully tomorrow goes a little better. It is crazy to be in the woods with 1000 other people!
