orienteering race 1:28:14 [3] 7.55 km (11:41 / km)
Red course on the new Tyler State Park map. Course setters took maximum advantage of fun little pockets of nice woods but there were long trail runs inbetween and my legs were dead. Still, a great day.
It's interesting that I seem to have lost confidence in my orienteering to some degree. I would navigate perfectly to the controls but the flags were hung very, very low and while not hidden, not always easy to spot. When I couldn't see the flag right away my first thought was always what did I do wrong - which was crazy since the navigating was really straightforward for the most part. In every case the flag was just down in the gully or reentrant and hung in a way that you couldn't see it until you at least started to climb down. But even after the first couple so that I knew the flags would be hung that way, I would still doubt my navigating first off.
