Event: WPOC Keystone Capers A-event
10 AM
Orienteering race 1:38:37 [4] *** 5.9 km (16:43 / km) +240m 13:53 / km
spiked:13/16c shoes: Jala Jukola Spider 6 #2
Day 1, F50, finished 3rd/8 behind Patty L. and Kathleen L. Weather was low 70s and humid, so my glasses fogged up and were useless by the time I did the climb up and over to 7 (which was dumb in itself). Length and climb listed above are as advertised.
Might have had more trouble at 9 if I hadn't seen Peggy crossing the hillside going for it, but I was headed in the right direction and pretty confident of where I was but was a bit low and feeling uncertain. After 9 I headed in the direction of 11 and was most of the way there (fighting through the "light green" at the top of the reentrant) when I realized I needed to go to 10 and headed west, hitting the trail that I should have used in the first place near the rough-open field. Ugh.
FR = 7.77 km, climb 332m reported by AP/FR, so maybe I did a bit more than I should have (e.g., 6-7, where I basically went straight, hoping for white woods on the east side of the hill).
