Orienteering race 1:35:37 [4] 4.2 km (22:46 / km)
shoes: Salomon Speedcross 3
West Point Green Y - much farther distance due to terrible navigation, but GPS watch is not working (bummer!)
What can I say except I made it out of there alive! :) Lost over 35 minutes on mistakes, it's a new record!
1- lost pace count and wasn't sure how far i'd gone, no confidence, 25 minutes on first control!! very bad.
2-7 all good
8- a doozy. obviously the lack of sleep got me, i punched 7 and then tried to go to 7 again from 7, but with the clue of 8 in my brain. where is the spur? got back to 7, relocated, and then got lost again. twisted my ankle and fell down hard.
9-F all good
There is so much going on on this map, so many cliffs and boulders and little things that are hard to see if you're not scrutinizing it closely...it will provide me many evenings of armchair orienteering!
Did not do Sprint b/c of ankle.
Nice fish tacos dinner with Tom O, Petr H, and Robert Hesketh.
Very beautiful area and weather, and I'm looking forward to tomorrow!
