orienteering 52:08 [3] 3.9 km (13:22 / km)
Brown at Birkhead Wilderness Classic.
Taking a cue from Mary, what went right:
1. My knees feel pretty good.
2. No huge errors; always knew pretty much where I was.
3. No trouble reading the terrain.
What went wrong:
1. Never pushed myself to run hard since I'm not in great shape.
2. Made several small errors from just not focusing and planning ahead. Wrong set of rocks on #2 and took way too long to figure it out (about 3 minutes); off to the left on #5 by quite a bit having been distracted by some hikers who wanted to know what was going on (about 30 seconds); hesitation on the way to 6 trying to figure things out that didn't need figuring out but hard to judge how much time I lost; hit the steep earth bank in the green on the way to 9 since I couldn't read the contours due to less than great map printing (about a minute as I had to back track and go around) - the green was fine to go through but it was stupid not to have swung left of the line and head down the small reentrant anyway.
So overall a little disappointed in myself for not having more mental discipline. I knew I wasn't particularly fit so lots of room for improvement there but I should have been able to concentrate better especially since I wasn't pushing hard physically.
