First day of SWSW. Good vibes all around: perfect weather, great company, really pleasant terrain and fun course. This was what I wish every day orienteering could be. Or I guess just every day really.
I made one ~90s mistake at 3, due to simple loss of concentration. But mainly I was just enjoying finding controls, doing my thing. I felt unencumbered by the usual unproductive associated distractions: seeing other runners around, contending for a result, etc. It was as if I had fleetingly accessed the purest, most beautiful form of orienteering - a nirvana which I've only reached a few times under a rare confluence of circumstances.
