Event: DVOA Mount Penn - Antietam
 

Green Mt Penn, really nice course in the snow. I had a lot of fun. It's only now, seeing the splits and thinking back, that I am feeling that usual heartbreak of orienteering - could have done this better, could have gone faster there. I guess that's why I keep coming back for more - the idea that I could do better next time.

Lots of route choice hesitations.
Interesting with the snow - good and bad tracks to follow.
Picked up a 'friend' again and trying to lose him caused some nav errors on #9 (66) my major screw up - had to relocate using rock features instead of using very confusing trails. #12 very very fun leg through orchard and all the way to the road - this is where I met up with Justin (brother in law.) We went the rest of the way together and I was impressed.

An exhilarating feeling, running in the snow, and wonderful to have so much family all around for the adventure. Looking forward to 2015 to start fresh with orienteering. (F45!!!) Great job to the folks who put this event on!

**Now, seeing RG, I know exactly what happened on the way to 9. My 'friend' was talking to me and I lost my pace count. ARG! Need to be less friendly in the woods I guess. Great to see everyone's different routes. Looks like I chose poorly on the way to #1 :)
