Orienteering race 30:43 [5] 4.3 km (7:09 / km)
shoes: Spirit OLX (last)
Flying Pig Day 3. More open-area orienteering. Maybe a little more complex than yesterday, but there were still long lines of sight that simplified the navigation. I blundered on #1, failing to notice the left turn on the path leaving the start. Briefly considered going cross-country, but it was ugly and I backtracked to the junction. 2 minutes lost. After that I ran well, choosing good routes with only a few hesitations. On 6 I ran along the fence and attacked from the building in the middle. I could see the control flag from about 10m away, a little to the right of my bearing, and had a top split. I thought I made a good choice on 9, going straight through the green, but it turns out my route was a little slow.
Despite the 2 minutes lost, I was 5th on Green and first in M60 today. I won silver overall in M60, kind of unexpected, and first in "M65 Green" (Glen, Charlie, Steve, and me). They were a good group to be with. Running speed was the only thing I had going for me, but it was that kind of meet.
