Orienteering race (Red course) 2:31:18 [3] 8.46 mi (17:53 / mi) +738ft 16:31 / mi
slept:8.0 shoes: Salomon Speedcross (2014)
Red course at Round Mountain.
Things were going pretty well until #9. ARGH! I thought I was looking for a rocky knoll, but it was actually rocky ground. My tracks suggest that I was very close to it -- TWICE -- before actually spotting it.
A bit of wandering at #10.
For #13, it looks like I stayed on my bearing pretty well until the last minute -- and then I lost my concentration / lost contact with the map and wandered aimlessly.
I was very happy with the final approach to #16; I read the rocks well and hit it spot-on. Woot!
But then for the cliff at #17, as my brain was starting to fade, I misread the control description as "foot of" instead of "top of". And then I made a 180-degree error as I was leaving the control -- which added some extra steep climbing after I corrected myself. DOH!
No issues with 18-19-20.
Unfortunately, I got talked into doing control pickup and somehow lost my compass in the process. Note to self: I STILL HATE DOING CONTROL PICKUP. :-P
