Event: West Point A-Meet
orienteering race (Red Middle) 1:35:59 [4] *** 4.23 km (22:41 / km)
Ugh! Dreadful performance. Started by cleverly failing to check code on obvious wrong control on 1st leg. Then climbed 4 contours, relocated and came back to the same control. That was the least of the mistakes. Subsequently managed to reproduce same error running, then walking to #5. Only managed to hit #5 by accident when I adopted strategy of looking for #6 before trying to backtrack to #5. I could go on and on, but I don't think my ego could take it.
orienteering race (R/B Sprint) 29:58 [4] *** 3.1 km (9:40 / km)
Another depressing event, this time because I actually avoided any big mistakes, and still finished very close to the bottom. I felt as if I only lost a few seconds at my minor bobbles, but my splits suggest otherwise. I don't really enjoy sprints as a rule, probably due to my limited success, but I did appreciate that it was a well designed course.
