Orienteering race 1:28:47 [3] *** 5.2 km (17:04 / km)
14c
Green course. Road from 2 to 3, but pretty hesitant attacking. Missed 5 a liitle to right. Spiked 7 but lost six minutes !!! How?? After a very hesitant leg, not in good contact, I came on a small pond with a control next to it - it couldn't be mine, which had no blue near it, so I spent considerable time trying unsuccessfully to match its shape to the various blue spots on the map. Bob Lux and another runner came through, punching it, and I assumed they were on a different course - even though Bob told me earlier he was running Green. I wandered northward and came toward a small marsh and finally realized that I had been at my control all along. So much for not checking the code on the control. A careful look at the map after finishing showed a small depression - filled with water. Slow at 13 with several other little unmapped reentrants.

Walked to Pawtuckaway beach and back twice looking for my family. Felt pretty tired.
