Orienteering race 56:47 *** 3.57 km (15:54 / km) +89m 14:08 / km
ahr:125 max:149 spiked:11/12c shoes: Inov8 ORoc280-B 2013-10
Night O at McKaig Nature Center (mapped and course-set by Chris Hand), which now includes in the SW corner the Plum Nelly Estate of buildings, barns, and an ex-tennis court and a fenced off pond/pool(?). I got to visit that area for controls 5-6-7. Temperature was around 32F.
Tonight's brown course was 3.0 km, 81 m climb (10' contours, "1:5000" with various other scales for some point features). Wore my reading glasses because some symbols almost disappeared without them, though having the glasses made it trickier to run on the trails where I don't need them and they get in the way.
Stream crossings were made a bit more challenging by the summer flooding which scoured the stream sides and made them deeper and steeper, and I carefully searched for places where I didn't have to climb a 4' embankment (on legs 1-2, 2-3, 3-4, 4-5). Got my right shoe wet on the way to 2 and it stayed wet the entire course.
Only one I was unsure of was 10 which I knew would be tricky...my plan had been to find the cliffs/rock faces then leave the trail and contour over, but I though I saw a reflector higher on the hill and left the trail early then had to correct. The dot knoll was really a rootstock but whatever. :-)
