Orienteering race 1:06:23 [3] *** 7.67 km (8:39 / km) +174m 7:46 / km
spiked:14/24c shoes: X-Talon 212
BBL Red 5.9 km
A fun, well thoughtout course with a good balance between challenging navigation and some relatively open running. I had a good run if making only moderate errors was the goal but lots of time was left on the course and for a variety of reasons. I didn't have a good plan for some of the more difficult legs. On C2, I moved carefully towards the circle trying to use the stream which I know gives me problems. This made for slow going and I still overran it (but only to the edge of the circle). Addison's tact of going high here definitely simplified the route but was really dependent on how the green scaled; it does seem he chose right. I had the same type of problem hitting the correct erosion gully for C6 dealing with the continuum of ditches leading to my biggest error (2 min). I did seem to generally understand what was going wrong quickly when it did, and this is a good thing. I didn't think I was aiming off but I was paying attention to how I was drifting and this seemed to send me the correct way when I missed a control. I considered crossing the creek to 19 but then backed off and went to the bridge. Given that cold water of an unknown depth was never going to be a good plan, this was my one point of self-irritation. The vegetation and marsh mapping between C14-C16-C17 and near the 23-24 line need updating. I chose to stay near but S of the line and managed to faceplant in the half-frozen marsh on this leg almost within reach of the trail. AP say 7 min was errors; probably 5 in errors and 2 in slow plus some more slow it missed. All in all, fairly joyous.

Orienteering 34:20 [3] *** 4.73 km (7:16 / km) +73m 6:44 / km
18c shoes: X-Talon 212
BBL Orange 4.1 km, 2nd run
Wandered the wrong way for 5-10 s at the start. It appears this was the race. Also tested the trail-spillway route to the rootstock to compare to the campground road; the latter was definitely faster. Also missed #61 for a 2nd time, the map seemed to be pushing me W
