Orienteering Meet race 1:11:21 [5] *** 6.3 km (11:20 / km) +190m 9:50 / km
spiked:13/15c
Us Long O champs. Well I started out ok, but on the 3rd control I was short and had to relocate a bit on an easy control. On the way to 5 I was stuck to my chest on the muck trying to pull my self out of it. Kinda like quick sand. So I was totally soaked and muddy. On the long leg to 7 it was a maze of trails to get there. The whole race I felt I was not taking the best route choices. And the big bonehead move was heading to 12, I went out of my way to go to 2 and then realizing that this was a place I had been before. Just plain dumb and so was 14 as it seemed there were lots of trails headed to the control and I just could not pick the right one.
I did end up fourth, about 4 minutes out of 3rd. Maybe too much beer and Dancing the night before in celebration, Or just plain dumb.
Awesome too see the creme da la creme of orienteer's out this weekend.
Fun weekend and great event put on by CSU.
