| Osbornedale meet, by Jim and Rich. Nice course with lots of climb and a number of technical legs. I orienteered pretty well: lost 2 minutes on #5, circling around the reentrant before coming to the right spot, and a bad route choice (not really my fault!) on #7 cost about 3-4 minutes: vegetation was much worse than mapped, and I had to detour a number of times to find a way through it. Physically, I was moving pretty slow in the technical areas, but that's what it takes for me to keep contact on a map like this that I find hard to read. Sneaky Charlie got me by one second, speedy George by about 15. (Blame the lady on the white course going to #11 who cost me at least 10 seconds; see leg comments.) Glen ran well and would have had me even without my lost time on #7. |

| Norwottuck, same course as Tuesday, two and a half minutes faster. Lost a couple minutes being careless, thinking I knew where I was going and so not looking at the map. Lots of climb, so a good workout. |

| Norwottuck, taking a long lunch. Re-ran a course I made up for myself a couple of years ago on the north side, from the visitors center. I'm definitely faster and more accurate now than I was then! But I still lost about three minutes: two when I hit a reentrant and turned the wrong way to look for a boulder; one on a trail mix-up. Should be able easily to break an hour next time I do it.
Orienteering sure is a lot more fun than work. Too bad nobody will pay me to do it. |
