orienteering race 40:30 [5] ***** 4.1 km (9:53 / km)
10c shoes: Icebug 2012
Middle Distance race at Hog's Back, Spruce Woods Provincial Park, Manitoba. First place.
A little hesitant keeping contact on the first control. A little bit right on the long leg to the second one, but corrected with minimal loss of perhaps 10 seconds or less. Saw lots of people wandering aimlessly, but managed to keep excellent contact for the rest of the race. Lost 30 seconds or so on one in a reentrant when I came in a little too low, thought I could see the top of the reentrant and turned down to look behind big trees with no success. Ran back up over the top of the reentrant and found that it really leveled then continued just a bit farther and there was the bag. Grrr.
But seriously, I could not have asked for a much cleaner race in such technical terrain. Everything was clicking just right.
