Orienteering 1:32:21 [3] ***
spiked:16/22c
I really enjoyed today's race! However, I found that I started my race a lot faster than how I was feeling at the end - next time, I will be sure to pace myself.
Some technical notes on the controls I missed:
-Control 2: Came in slightly SE of the control, stopped on the adjacent ridge to read the map/orient myself. Found it without too much trouble.
-Control 14: Again, slightly south of the control, quickly corrected once I realized where I was.
-Control 16: I used the swamp at the top of the hill as my Attackpoint, but I should have chosen the saddle going out of the swamp since it was better as a 'directional feature' rather than a point in the terrain.
-Control 19: Didn't go downhill far enough since I didn't look for the same swamp as mentioned above (which I intended to in my plan).
Control 21: I misread the map so I didn't see the extra contour that indicated the control was on the top of the slope, rather than on the slope like I thought
Control 22: This section was tricky - I figured that if I ran into the area I would see the control since it was on the cliff nearest to the path. But, the cliff was next to a rock that made the flag hard to see.
Fantastic course! Good to be out racing again :)
