Bog slog! This felt like one of the most challenging bog slogs that I’ve done: pretty long, some seriously steep slopes, and more tricky control locations than I recall seeing in past years races there. My mental limit for orienteering caps out at about 2 hours, and I really struggle to stay focused in on a race for much longer than that. I majorly screwed up control 7, which also put me behind all of the people I had been seeing periodically up until then, and I wasn’t going to make up that ground in the second half of the race
