orienteering 1:11:45 [3] 8.39 km (8:33 / km) +138m 7:54 / km
Wednesday Night Orienteering with the club. Tonight was held on a distant map, and I always worry slightly about keeping people waiting when there is a drive back to Uppsala after the race. So, with that in mind I signed up for the middle course, and it seems to have been the right choice tonight.
Sam set courses, and I think they were well received. I had fun, but I found Lunsen to be also a tough place to orienteer at night, not just during the day.
Quickroute My track this evening courtesy of Sam's Garmin. I had a hard time reading vegetation and swamps tonight, getting tripped up a lot, notably on 1, 2, and 8 because of making bad assumptions based on over reading the stuff around me. Didn't realize that 4 was mishung until after I got back, and that certainly helps to explain how I managed to get off so much on 5.
8 was a debacle. I thought, at one point, that I was seeing the clear cut area and so altered my course drastically. Of course I hadn't even crossed the main path yet so changing my direction drastically resulted in wandering lost in the swamps. Not in the best mood for the rest of the course, but it was tough to stay grumpy when cruising through the beautiful white woods on the way to 13. Ah well, next Wednesday will offer another chance for redemption.
