Orienteering race 56:14 [4] 5.0 km (11:15 / km)
shoes: Icebug Spirit 4
Nice Thomass format event at Powder Mills Park.
More later, but definitely got offtrack in the first box. I'll post data later, but thought I was taking a very precise route to X, but apparently there is an indistinct trail intersection that made me think I was ready to go right into the control... it wasn't there. I was there with everyone else, and it looks like a 4 minute error when it was all said and done...
Details - follow 119 to 120 - there's a nice trail with a nice three way intersection that you can head north from... Except first there's another 3 way intersection that has roughly the same vegetation and if you miss the dashes for that (esp if there's a control circle nearby) you're off a bit. [It is all rather clear if you have a calm, clear, full visual of the map, and no slight intended for the course setting - just my bad eyes...]
Also a slight bobble from 111 to 112, came down left of where I thought I was.
Worked the rest of the course, and was able to catch up with Doug by the end (as he made a couple errors along the way).
Huh - #1 times to 106 and 107 (by a second, and the fastest time for box C as a whole - by a minute.
