Orienteering 1:40:23 [3] ***** 6.21 mi (16:10 / mi) +277m 14:12 / mi
18c shoes: Solomon Vario
Despite racing yesterday we wanted to make it home for orienteering, especially because it was igor's meet which meant it would be super tricky. It didnt disappoint, im not sure I had a single leg which I would truely call clean, but racing against all the other people that also raced yesterday I managed to squeak out a 1 minute win.
1- Trail north and then follow the swamp. hesitated at the first swamp. Road to E trail probably would have been faster
2 - thought i was paying close attention, but got sucked E, lucky correction landed me on the flag
3 - probably my cleanest leg, what a nice spur
4 - Couldnt convince myself there was actually a reentrant there, so I reattacked from the swamp
5 - straight bearing, which landed me well but the woods were slow
6 - bearing, took it slow to make sure i didnt miss it
7 - back through the thick stuff, attacked from trail junction
8 - long trail loop around in the pouring rain. took the trail all the way past the control and attacked from the depression. Saw Mr. W looking a little confused
9 - trail around the thick woods
10 - Weird trail things. Cut through the woods straight north but couldnt find the second EW trail. Not sure why. Eventually found the indistinct trail, which I slid down on my butt, and then carefully picked my way through the woods along the contour. Overall not very efficient.
11 - beautiful woods!
12 - across the land bridge and then N from the knoll.
13 - back around to the east because the west side looked green and my map was disintegrating. Apparently there were game trails that worked out well though.
14 - slid up the indistinct trail and then attacked from the hill top marked by a yellow course flag
15 - careful bearing
16 - careful bearing, but had some hesitation and slight wander. Also tripped on a tree and fell on another tree that hit me in the gut and knocked the wind right out of me
17 - overshot just W and got to the swamp
18 - wiped out on the muddy trail and then slip and slid my way to the finish.
Every leg was so tricky! Not helped by the green woods, but would have been tricky no matter what. So worth driving back early for! Thanks Igor.
