A most fun 5K with under 100 participants. Great fall weather. Out and back course on residential streets. I ran according to plan and finished 1st of the 3 in M70. Skipped the beer afterwards. The S/F was on the street that my father grew up on. Note the "pi" distance provided by the GPS.

Orienteering race (Long) 52:42 [4] ***** 3.14 mi (16:47 / mi) +76m 15:37 / mi
spiked:18/18c shoes: Inov-8 OROC 280

A very smooth run. Thankfully using trails a lot. Not always the fastest route choices but the conservative ones. Used a baseplate compass for the first time in a long time.

1. Pace counted and cut in early to run parallel to the trail. (Fastest time on Brown. A good start.)
2. Back to the trail, straight at first jct, R at second jct, followed stream SE.
3. NNW back to trail. Attacked from little marsh.
4. NW over the hill to the valley. Saw the marsh off to the R. Followed stream SW to big boulder. Attacked from there.
5. SW to trail. S and then SW to first jct. Headed on a bearing for the trail loop on the top of the hill figuring it was too big to miss. Hit the NE tip of it and went to the northernmost jct attacking from there. (Another fastest time on Brown.)
6. Followed the purple line to the ride. Around to the top of the hill. Paused briefly before the top of the hill to be sure I needed to go to the top.
7. Took the trail route.
8. Should have taken the trail but was starting to feel like I should run more in the woods so went south to the creek junction and then further south to the control. Splits says I lost 45 seconds here.
9. A little confused about flipping the map over but eventually ran down the ride and attacked from the bend to the E of the control.
10. Back to the ride and down to the tip of it. SW to cross the creek. Around the tip of the fenced-in plantation and due S to the control. Slow going.
11. More slow going through the swamp. Tried to find the broken fence to the right and did actually see a post or two and some barbed wire on the ground. Passed Bob Bullions here which was a good sign.
12. Wimped out and took the path to the driveway and into the control from the wrong direction.
13. Around on the road.
14-15. Completely understood the road crossing having used one on a local event last year. Still made a car stop rather than waiting for it. Used up 1:45 but was anxious to keep moving.
16. Along the trail. Attacked from the little and big boulders on the left side of the trail.
17. Splits say I lost time here but I don't know how. Went straight for it. Didn't expect it to be so visible from the trail.

So I had a great run with no real bobbles. Several safe but slightly slow route choices. Some nice fast trail running. A pause at the map exchange. Time was fast enough to enable me to move from 4th to 1st on the combined times. Is this a great sport or what?
