Orienteering race 1:03:09 [3] 10.0 km (6:19 / km) +178m 5:48 / km
Gators O-Cup #1
Followed Serghei for the first 4 controls, then lost site of him as he was moving faster than I can right now. Then was mainly using the pack to hone in on CP's up to 6 while reviewing the boxes and planning my routes later on. I owe Simpy a beer for saving me from a nasty spill over a wire/barrier across a road (I had my head in the map, noticed him stutter step then looked up at the last second & just cleared it). Only major mistake (~3min.) was going from a to d in the first box (my route was: b, a, d, f, g, h, e, c), just missed "d" to the south on the first pass, caught the trail, re-searched too far east, relocated on the trail again and finally got it. Rest of the run was reasonable with just a few small mistakes honing in on CP's. Did the 2nd box: C, G, B, D, A, F, E, H.
Thanks to Harps & the Gators for a great course. Good route choices (upon review Serghei & I did the boxes in different order), and also solid distance at ~10k, which I enjoyed.
