Mr. W was very nice and left the flags up so we could run the red course a day late, after getting back from vacation. Rained for the first half.
Not sure if my mind was still in Hawaii, or already in Albany, but I was not focused on orienteering from the start, and it led to some stupid mistakes and poor choices, so not my best performance.
No major mistakes, but very few really clean legs either. Took a wrong turn on the trail from start - 1... 1-2 I thought I executed pretty well, going through the campground. 10-11 was just too long for me. I actually stayed pretty focused and didnt make any major blunder, but i felt like I was running a trail marathon, not an o meet. Even still, i had a pretty slow split, so clearly there were better ways. I took the S trail to avoid the mess of trails in the middle, and took shortcuts through the woods on the big loops.
Got stuck in some thick stuff between 13 and the finish, and took a very subpar route through/around it.
