Orienteering 1:15:45 [4] ***** 4.61 km (16:27 / km) +79m 15:09 / km
spiked:4/9c shoes: Inov8 ORoc280-A 2013-08
Out again at Pawtuckaway, again on the Bown course, as Green went east to the "big island" and didn't look all that interesting (straight line difference 3.8 vs 5.8 km). Not as precise today, and having trouble keeping my toes up by the end even with a Gu at 45 minutes. Need more training. :-) No issues (beyond catching toes when tired) with the Inov8's.
I had issues on most controls where I'd be off to one side or the other by 50-100 m, but know that I was in the area or had gone far enough. I'd stop to look around and either figure out where I was to correct, or see/hear someone at or near the control and relocate that way, so no major wanders, like in my early forays at Pawtuckaway. Will estimate error when I can QR at home.
Very satisfying at 7 to be on the line I wanted, less than 10 m from control but not having spotted the flag yet because of vegetation, and having the confidence to keep moving a few more feet before seeing it.
