Orienteering 1:28:00 [3] 7.0 km (12:34 / km) +283m 10:27 / km
shoes: Spirit OLX (last)
PWNF (Pine Grove area) Red. I did a lot of walking after the 4th control. Nothing left in the legs, given yesterday's effort.
I was a little disappointed in the course setting. There's a lot of nice technical terrain here, but the course didn't take advantage of it.
#1 and 2 were good legs and good placements (the leg from start to 1 was the best leg on the course). #5 and 6 were good, but repetitive: run along the road and attack to the big reentrant. The area around 8 was underutilized. I would rather have skipped 6 and had some nice changes of direction in the wild area away from the big stream basin. As it was, we could ignore the subtle features and take a bearing to the big ones.
#3 (stream junction), #9 (deep reentrant), #10 (marsh) and #11 (ditch) were all orange-level controls. Having to run long legs to get to those controls was not very inspiring.
