Orienteering 1:08:20 [3] *** 3.4 km (20:06 / km) +145m 16:34 / km
spiked:9/14c
O in the Pines Middle event
1. Down the trail to it; lost time readjusting in middle of leg as I had stupidly thought we were on a 1:10000.
2. Up to it, using trail and three rootstocks.
3. Trail to above it and then in.
4. Straight at it - a true spike
5. More or less straight.
6. GAK! Turned in too soon and wandered futilely for a while before relocating.
7. Straight to the hill then, contour around and bounce off cliffs above.
8. Down hill any way it worked and then onto spur, but I was way high (SSW)
9. More or less straight, but when I got to the spur, I got suckered uphill 50m instead of down. Saw my first person (David Yee) as i was leaving #9
10. Major screwup - got into the rocks way too soon (too far S)
11. Thought about contouring but went straight and could see it from the trail.
12. Crashed downhill and overshot by 15 m left and 15 m long before turning around.
13. Trail to it.
14. Took the right fork; interesting route choice there - only mistake is to take time to choose!
->In. Cracked a board on the bridge and nearly tripped.

YardWork 45:00 [4]
Brush-whacking and -hauling and ditch-digging at my mom's. Yup, this was tougher than the O course and took a lot more out of me. (But I never lost map contact!)

Orienteering 2:00:30 [1]
Control pickup from EAR.
Parked off the map and headed in from behind Ellicottville School - a new location for me. On the way to my first one, I realized I had no map (I started with the bikers map that included the parking lot); 200 m back, I found my map - I had dropped it in the woods, bad omen! It took me surprisingly long to locate myself on the new map and I was almost 45 minutes to my first one. I took an overly ambitious route up the mountain and bypassed my second planned control to get the one on the ski slope. Third and fourth were clean and efficient. For the fifth, I ended up too confused in the stream system and had to bail, but not before dropping my compass in the middle of nowhere. Despite no compass - and in one case attacking from a side I had never been on - I spiked the last two and headed out, but couldn't quite beat my goal of two hours.

Drove to the top of the hill to try a different attack at the one I missed (with a spare compass). Spiked it and got the heck out of there before I died of embarrassment.
