orienteering 36:14 2.22 mi (16:19 / mi) +377ft 14:03 / mi
ahr:142 max:156 weight:138lbs shoes: pegasus #2
Control picking course at Mt. Tom, set by Alex, nice to have streamers hanging, just to reinforce how badly I am orienteering these days. Mistakes at 2, 3, 4, 8, 9, 13, 19. But I spiked the other 13, whoopee....
Tried to follow Hannah for a bit, but she ran away from me, especially going up the hill to 7.
Skipped the optional line-O that started at 12.

orienteering 36:49 1.93 mi (19:05 / mi) +548ft 15:02 / mi

And then did the Corridor-O. Never done one of those before, and it was quite good fun. And not so easy, even on a map I know pretty well.
Almost stopped when I got back close to the finish, but figured if Alex had gone to the trouble of setting it, I should do the whole thing. Started to rain shortly thereafter, and then rain hard, and get cold, and rain harder, and get colder. As a result of which I ran faster, though I probably cut a couple of corners right at the end.
What I find interesting is, after spending a little over an hour orienteering with the map, and a quick look at it before I started, it was only after several minutes of looking at it afterwards that I notice the words "Tougher corridor." Seriously. They are the most obvious thing on the piece of paper and I hadn't noticed. I'm not sure if that is appalling, or maybe a sign of very good focus. I guess I'll claim the latter. :-)
The rain let up a little after I came in, but I passed on the "downhill slalom" training. Will do that another day.
My route for both courses.
