Orienteering race (Goat) 2:31:29 [4] *** 10.57 km (14:20 / km) +448m 11:50 / km

I did the Lite. Made the decision at #1 not to even try the whole Goat; it took 25 min just to get that far. The extra loop 2-7 added 2+ km with not a good drop potential (if you wanted to save a skip for later on). Lite rules said you could skip two.
I was thinking of trying to do all remaining (8-24) but by the time I got to 13 I didn't like the look of the climb to 14; decided to skip that and 18. Legs fine on flat and downs, but I could barely drag myself up the remaining climbs after the spectator leg (19-20). Third woman on Lite, way behind Meg P (40 min) and a minute behind Trisha U. Not that it counts for anything. ;-)
I'm not sure what the SL distance was for the BGL*; distance above is from my FR.
Gorgeous weather, sunny with blue sky, a bit cool to start but warming into the low 50s.
Extra special thanks to Peter with additional thanks to Gail and NEOC.
*Added FR track. Peter listed SL distance at 9 km (not including two skips).
