orienteering (Corn Maze O') 32:10 [3] **** 2.81 km (11:27 / km)
ahr:126 spiked:15/20c
Classic distance.
This was the first race, and my strategy wasn't the best yet. I didn't see north lines, so I assumed the maze was oriented to the north. It wasn't.
Also, I tried to use rough bearings and simplifying, which didn't work very well. It was better to keep track of every single junction you went to, unless you were on an edge.

Running (mostly hard surfaces) warm up/down 10:56 [3] 1.27 mi (8:37 / mi)
ahr:142
orienteering (Corn Maze O') 22:28 [3] **** 2.09 km (10:45 / km)
spiked:12/14c
Relay, leg 2.
This time I didn't use the wrong north lines, but I was still trying to simplify too much. Spent about 5 minutes wandering around completely lost. It was really hard to relocate. Towards the end, I started following along at every junction, and I did much better.

spiked:12/12c
Night, Run #1.
Finally, the corn maze clicked for me! I followed along with both hands at every junction, and I never lost my place. Woohoo! It was a good feeling, going along somewhat slowly and clicking stuff off.
