orienteering race 1:30:00 [4]
Two races on a new map in Redwood Meadows. Part of the Club champs. First was the sprint. Teresa talked me into going in the elite division. What was I thinking!? I am never good on a 1:5000 map. Took me awhile to get a feel of the distance. Made one big error that cost me a lot of time. Oh well! Next was the Forest event on the same map, same scale. Decided to run in my age category and forget the "Elite" group. I didn't want to run that far! Had a fairly good race. Got a bit disoriented coming out of one control, but recovered fairly quickly. Took the roads in the neighborhood sections. A little longer, but the going was easy. Worked out well. 1st in my age category. A fun day of racing!
