orienteering race 1:27:10 4.69 mi (18:35 / mi)
ahr:155 max:178 12c
Green at Camp Shea (which is part of Turkey Mountain).
I was quite happy that my shin was feeling ok. It was uncomfortable when I brushed against vegetation, but it wasn't a problem to run.
The first leg was tough - 10 lines of climb where you could see the control location (but not the control itself) from about the last 2/3rds of the leg. I walked every step.
I was a bit unsure of how to take the long leg. I'm wary of running on the sides of hills. I mostly stayed high, but the vegetation was kind of junky. In retrospect, dropping down and then following the hillside would probably have saved a little time.
I had one bobble at 4. I not entirely sure what I did. I was a little too high and went to a parallel feature. Sloppy. The rain made it hard to use my magnifier and that might have been a little bit of the problem.
On 10 I got a bit confused and was looking for the control way too early. I was kind of passive on the leg, running and then reading instead of the other way around.
Not a complaint about the map, but about the mapping standard. The vertical green stripes don't work well in terrain if you need to read features under the green. It is visually distracting without really giving you any useful information.
Lots of fun, but I was tired and I'm not fit enough to really move well in this kind of terrain right now.
