Orienteering 2:08:25 **** 9.05 km (14:12 / km) +180m 12:55 / km
ahr:116 max:148 spiked:11/15c shoes: VJ Falcons 10
UsynligO course on Sandy Run map. Adv1 course starting at the north end of the map. 6.9k straight line. Challenging orienteering on a very nice day (70, sunny, dry).
Navigation was OK. Misread features near the control for 3 and 4, which led to some backtracking. Took the road to 5 which was definitely faster and saved about 1.3km of vegetation in the face (the only downside to this area). Overshot 6 a little but recovered quickly. Used the sometimes huge rock features to navigate to 8 but then had trouble figuring out which rock was the actual control feature since there are more mappable rocks in the terrain than the KP map has. Same issue with 11. At 14 I hit the feature right on but the app didn’t register until I visited a second time a minute or so later. Probably lost 10-15 minutes overall but satisfactory for a training run with no flags or streamers. Thanks to SandyF for the course and Sandy and GregA for the map.
