I think I did a pretty good job when it came to route selection and the order that I did the controls that were within each of the five windows. I was moving slowly enough that I didn't see any other people orienteering after punching the control just after the 3rd window. I think that the order I did the last two windows in was the only logical order to do them but maybe I could have done a better job with the first three windows.
It was cool outside but not extremely cold. I decided to give my winter boots a try and they worked quite well. Not great for running (I don't do much running) but lots of ankle support. My feet were not too warm.
On the whole I am pleased with my performance.
