| I'm getting worse and worse at this. I need a good yellow course to soothe my broken ego.
I didn't count the number I got in score-o (12 -1 penalty), but I got so bullheaded on the last one that I was one minute late (timekeeper was generous) getting back.
()7/29/08) Ended up in 10th. Should have been smarter at the beginning and grabbed the close one.
Then on the sprint, I spent forever looking for #2. Much too technically complex (for my tired skull). The undergrowth is overgrown. Then I was getting sloppy and missed 4. (unidirectional). Should rely more on pace counting.
Best thing about being really bad on the O sprint is that it increases the time I get to report on attackpoint.
Screw shoes worked great today. Brain didn't. |

| Went faster in middle - to stretch it out a bit. Jonesy enjoyed that part.
I'm thinking of walking the score-O, then actually sprinting (if that's what you call my shuffle) the sprint. |

| My worst bit of orienteering EVER
Very hot day.
Barely beat the 80 year old Karl.
Base map didn't seem to match the trails. Then again, if I had actually read the map, I would have realized that no, those are not trails, but are broken down fences.
Brought R & Jonesy back to the start after 1 hour. J had the right idea of lying down in any shady spot for the previous 10 minutes. You humans are crazy!
Still have no idea where I was when I was on the blue-blaze trail. Not a clue whatsoever - was headed North when I thought I was going south. Face-planted myself 4 separate times on that trail.
Bushwacked far too many times.
Panicked at end - how long do they wait before looking for my prostrate body out in the bush.
I just noticed that there is blood on my map. What a fitting end to my worst o-meet ever.
----
upon further investigation, I have realized that I should have been looking for stone walls rather than paths. My eyes are getting weak (not helped by the 1:15000 scale).
Ended up in 12th place due to the miracle of people not getting back in time. Those results sure got up there very quickly.
