Orienteering race (Short Advanced) 2:18:38 [0] 7.73 km (17:56 / km)
Hidden Meadow
Second time trying a Short Advanced. Could have tried the Intermediate, but the controls seemed to be mostly on or very near trails.... So, I chose to try my thumb-compassed hand at the SA!
The map was crazy busy so I knew it was going to be hard, and -- it sure was! 2 hours and 19 minutes of mistakes and extra kilometers! And mud (a muddy orienteer is a happy orienteer)! And -- ticks (well ok, those I could do without)!
My run today had a real estate theme: "re-location, re-location, re-location!" So many mistakes and extra kilometers -- but a fun, muddy adventure. Full disclosure: At one point between 12 and 13 I was trying to re-locate yet again, when another SA person came by and at my request, pointed out where I was. I should have spent more time re-locating, and it was such an obvious spot to be able to locate on the map: At the base of a huge cliff that was RIGHT ON the trail. But, it was getting late, and I had no idea if I would see anyone else again. (Well, not EVER again, I hoped I wasn't THAT lost.) So, I succumbed.
And yes, ticks! Found 4 or 5 crawling around on me when back at the car, plus one who had already bit into my stomach.
