| Can you call it orienteering when you spend most of your time wandering aimlessly?....my race Sunday?...one word: disaster, and it began early....Control one split? one hour 13 minutes.....(stunned silence).....listen, i could not believe it either.....after thinking I had acquired a respectable level of navigation skill, Sundays race taught me that I might be dillusional....to say that it had not affected my confidence would be a lie but as Scarlet said "tomorrow is another day".....I only got 7 of 16 controls in 3 hours....bad, bad, bad....actually did decent except for the first and last controls that I got but after #1 I realized all was lost.....I have only DNF'd 2 races in 25 years of endurance sports and this is one of them. Broken ski in a ski marathon was the other....Anyone got advice on how to come back from disaster???
I know that one mistake was not incorporating the fact that the map had 20ft contour lines....but I had no excuse, Ian mentioned this as I was checking in but I did not take it to heart on the difference it would create in reading the map.....I was looking for #1 to low before I remembered that the ridgeline I as looking on was rep'd by only ONE line...and I needed to go deeper....all my fault.... |

| |

| Kari and I went to Hyland to test Adventure Run #1 course at Hyland....I let her navigate and backed her up here and there...she did good....
