Finished!
I realized by the third control I would be able to finish, so I ran it when I could. Picked it up on the trails and tried to run up the hills. I'm not sure I'm getting better on orange, rather, I think this was easier than the last 2 orange courses that I had attempted, there were so many more landmarks on this course including lots of manmade things. I didn't need to use the compass and I admit that I followed folks a bit, especially from 4 to 5.
I learned that a stone wall is marked differently from a fence. If I knew I'd be able to finish this, I wouldn't have run so long right before. Oh well. Sore this morning, which is a good feeling of hard work yesterday.
