Note

Geekout out of the day.
Since being introduced to score orienteering i've been interested in the idea of solving an optimal route for the map (Travelling Salesman problem).
I found a site which sortof already does it if you give points, and plugged in the controls i hit. Results/differences are below

The main difference near the southwest corner is a route i didn't even think of, which is interesting, and a 50/50 choice in the top-right corner. Otherwise i was surprisingly optimal (given the controls i chose to hit)

There are a couple implementations here which i think would be quite interesting
1- plugging in all points ans seeing what the minimum distance (and approx time) required to hit all points... is it possible within the time frame for your running ability?
2- Creating a more sophisticated formula where you enter all the controls and associated scores, your running speed, time allowed, and penalty rules, and in theory you could then determine the optimal score you could acheive at your running ability... THAT would be cool.

Very wet commute to orienteering. Not much fun, but riding through a closed richmond park was kinda cool.

Rainy, which meant some complications with writing answers etc, but nothing show-stopping.
Came out of the blocks the wrong way, which i've done twice now... assuming to come out the front of the pub, but recovered.
Overall no massive orienteering errors, some slow sections finding controls and got 2 answers wrong (30pts), and a bit of hesitation, but think i picked a pretty good route.
Thought i could pick just one more control on the way back and paid a penalty minute... not worth it.

Very sore toes, think i'll have a couple of blisters tomorrow.

11th / 56
Could be improved by
- better map contact at the VERY start
- aiming for higher scoring controls and taking the 10 pointers only if they aren't going to consume time
- Using a strategy of pushing the pace just before writing, then resting while writing
- don't think anything can be done on finding the control or the 2 incorrect answers, thats street-o i think.
8 PM

Running warm up/down 5:45 intensity: (1:07 @1) + (1:36 @2) + (1:28 @3) + (1:34 @4) 0.64 km (8:56 / km) +6m 8:32 / km
