Orienteering 43:58 [3] 2.79 mi (15:46 / mi) +95m 14:15 / mi
10c shoes: Speedcross 4 - Aqua
A.M. Fog Training - Lake Brantley - 3.9 km
Rainy, but warm. I had a lot of fun on this map. First time I had done a course with so much of the map whited out. My bearings and distance estimation were pretty good overall. A number of small errors. 2 - Stopped a little early and went down a parallel gully that also had some rocks. The hill didn't look quite right, so I continued on and found the steamer. 4 - Drifted a little too far N. 6 - Drifted too far NE and hit some other boulders before correcting. 8 - Ran to a trail, but it was not my trail. No major confusion, so I'd call it a success.

P.M. Circular Map Training - Lake Brantley - ~4.2 km
A circular map with no north lines and only contours. I found this quite difficult. Made me realize just how much I rely on my compass. First few went well with only minor detours. 4 - Ended up on the entirely wrong hill top. 5 - Got totally confused, convinced myself I was somewhere else entirely, and then happened upon the streamer. I was quite deliberate after that and only had a couple minor detours through the rest of the course. Cut off 2 controls so I would finish near an hour. Not something I would do very often.
