Orienteering race 21:54 [3] 2.4 km (9:07 / km)
shoes: Adrenaline 15
Flying Pig Sprint 1 (Urban). This was a lot of fun, but I sure stunk it up. I just don't know how to deal with these urban sprints. Something's wrong with my approach. I don't see the traps, I can't recognize buildings, I lose count of streets, and don't even talk to me about multi-level structures.
The first 2 controls were between a building and a pond, and I ran the wrong way around the pond twice, basically circling the pond 4 times. Great start. Other errors ensued, but that was enough to kill the race.

Flying Pig Sprint 2 - Parkland. This sprint was more my style. The navigation was easy -- much of the time I could see the next feature on leaving the control -- and I just ran. A few route choices (like which side of the circular pond) but I'm not sure there was much difference either way. I was in the lead for the entire course. Attackpoint credits me with no time lost, which may be the first time ever.
