Orienteering race 1:13:57 4.99 mi (14:49 / mi) +197m13:12 / mi ahr:145 max:167 19c shoes: Speedcross 4 - Purple
Ontario Champs Long - 6.9 km
Not my cleanest run. I was a little too focused on having fun running through the open woods and not enough focused on the map.
1 - Lost 2-3 minutes on the first control. I did not approach with an appropriate amount of caution. I intended to run in through the field and confirm my position using the form line hill before the control. I ended up too far S though and was confused by the form line spur. 8 - Looked like an easy leg so I used the time to plan a route for 9. Completely lost track of where I was and ended up going back to 7 to correct. Silly mistake. Lost another 2-3 minutes here. 15 - Cut through the green and it was thick! Might have been faster to go around through the field?
Awesome weekend of orienteering! Very glad we decided to make the trip.
