orienteering race 37:24 4.12 km (9:04 / km)
ahr:174 max:188
Pawtuckaway Middle
Not good, not awful. Well, if it were a big race I would call it awful, a couple of needleless mistakes. Maybe 2-3 minutes lost total.
Wonderful woods, of course.

Radio orienteering. Optimal route was something closer to 2.5km. But... I did find all the controls!
Worth doing once, a bit finicky though.

Note
Canoe-O around Pawtuckway with some girl shouting abuse at me from behind. Brings back memories.
Not logging the hour of canoe-o as exercise will perhaps make up for logging all the radioo.

J-J's moderately WHNO !
1,3,2, uneventful, 4 I went offline, and cutting back I went through thick green swamp... figured I was miles behind. Plugged away, and came close to 4 in torrential downpour, attackpoint within 80m but managed not to climb as quickly as I ought, and went too far along... cut back and met the lead pack (except Giovanni, I guess) coming out... woo company!
5,6, uneventful... 7 looked epic, Giacomo and I took turns leading the first bit, I pushed on to the trail, then we all stopped a bit at the trail bend to do think about route choice... I went for contours, Ian went for the wall... mine was better to start with, following channels, but then I didn't do a good job contouring the second part and lost the lead, a bit behind for 9, leading again at 8 after the others hit the road too far to the right. I was considering the road/trail route to 10, but then saw a channel un-funnelling all the way to the road near the control, so took it. Got dragged a little right by a Giacomesque headlamp, and got stuck in thick veg/marsh when we met... he got to the road a bit ahead of me. Met at 10, he had more vim for the easy 11,12,finish.
Fun times, pity it wasn't harder though. (Although I was not thinking that en route to 4.)

Plug: Lando's Pizzeria in Hudson, MA deserves your custom. They gave me one and a half free pizzas and a free sub. For free. When I needed food. Having not eaten properly all day, really.
