Orienteering 2:00:00 [3]

Came back in the pm for another training event. This was the Burton Creek Motala, in California, but close to the Nevada line. The Motala was four loops. Since I was still adjusting to thin air, but feeling much better, Amy and I again walked the courses, as we needed to reserve strength for the next two days' races.
The event was described as mainly orange, but we didn't find this to be the case. The first loop, A, was very easy and we spiked all five controls. The B loop was something else. We did the first control, 6, without difficulty, but had a very difficult time with number 7. This leg had all controls on boulders, and we were in an area without much in the way of topo features, plus very had to relocate. Eventually, 25 minutes later, we found it. The rest required navigation, but were not as difficult. We walked too far down the road before cutting.g over to get control 9--our mistake--the placement was not that difficult.
After the second loop we stopped, but good practice.
