orienteering 1:17:59 [3] 4.9 km (15:55 / km)
weight:116.8lbs
Local DVOA event at Brandywine; did the green course.
Good enough for second. There was a lot of trail running possible and I seem to have chosen well in terms of when to go around, even way around. Two annoying errors - one when I deliberately did not barrel down to the main thoroughfare trail thinking I would be clever and attack a reentrant from the trails above only to find more trails than on the map and so got confused and then the control was 5 feet from the big trail anyway, and one when I couldn't read the map (it was very wet and humid and my magnifier was all fogged over) and I was momentarily thrown even though I was right where I wanted to be and should have read some other surrounding features to realize it and keep moving right to the control. Not a good per km time but I felt like I was moving well when the terrain allowed. It's a pretty green and rocky park.

Note
I'm not always as observant as I think I am! I've only just realized that the funny grey highlights on the main page mean a thread with a post that I haven't yet read. I kept thinking something was weird with my browser but it wasn't that annoying so I didn't care. Ah well...
