Easy four-mile jog in Elizabeth, with some walking before and after.

Preliminary results & club email for Rainbow Falls meet.

Event: RMOC - Orienteering Meet Rainbow Falls
 

Red course at Rainbow Falls. It's a beautiful (but steep) area, especially if you can block out the din of the dirtbikes, ATVs, and gunshots...

#1 -- no problem.

#2 -- I second-guessed myself and wasted time back-tracking on my way to #2.

#3 - 4 - 5 -- No problems.

#6 -- I contoured around to avoid some of the up-down, but it looks like I got a bit off-track after I crossed the fence.

#7 -- Looks like I could have contoured more, staying closer to the line, instead of going up and over the blob-shaped ridge.

#8 -- I deviated from the straight-line a bit too much once I hit the road / trail.

#9 -- Big mistake. Got WAY off my bearing and wasn't sure which way to go when I hit the reentrant. I guessed wrong and had to climb back up to the control...

#10 -- I went wide to avoid the cliffs and steep downhill, then I went wide again to climb up a less-steep part of the hill, using the boulders and pit as waypoints.

#11 - 12 - 13 - 14: No problems. Got a little disoriented trying to find the Finish...
