orienteering race 1:00:00 [4] **** 6.0 km (10:00 / km)
20c
horsed this race up right royally. hopefully due to the jetlag. wking up at 3:45 am and not going back to sleep is not great physical or mental preparation for racing...
but it was deceptivley technical - spurs protruding into marshes and varied, sometimes low-vis, forest had me well lost on the way to the normally simple seond control. Although a large part of it was due to awful technique, running w/o knowing where i was going... oh well.
a couple of more mistakes in the rain on controls 1, 3, 4, 5 and the race was well lost, outside the top 60 i was...

BILLYGOAT
Macedonia State PArk, Kent, CT
US orienteering at its best... well, terrain was only reasonable, the the billygoat is special!!!
running with JohnF and Boris most of the way... John broke ahead on the 20th, didn't see him again...
Boris and I then bust ourselves trying to catch him... we didn't, I led by a couple of metres the last couple of controls and held on to it to win my first race on american soil....... and accomplish one of every self-respecting orienteer's lifetime goals... winning a goat!
Besides the orienteering, it was great to meet up with all the american irishrussianbyelorussianhaitianfinnish orienteers again.
