Orienteering race 1:25:27 [3] 6.7 km (12:45 / km) +325m 10:16 / km
ROC - Mendon Ponds Icebreaker
Ran Red instead of my age class as it was still only 6.7 km. Basically hit everything "dead on". Thought I made only one small (5-10 sec) goof at #10, but apparently I ran the first half of that short leg fast enough to cover for that. Winsplits says I lost 22 seconds at #12 which is plausible, but seems a bit high since the split was only 104 seconds. Got slow near the end but didn't really care. Only interesting route choices I made were to go through the green in both directions between #6 and #7 - it looked passable and it was; and to take the trail to the west on the way to #17. Not sure that the latter was a win, but it was close.
9th out of 16. Seven runners finished between 82:28 and 88:08. I was the middle of them and the middle of the three who finished between 85:00 and 86:00. Considering how I felt - not a bad run, but not a great one.
