Orienteering 1:31:23 [0] 6.74 km (13:34 / km)
shoes: New Balance QOM #2
SA1 at March Highlands, via MapRun.
My goal for today was to work on navigation without using a compass. So, the compass stayed in my pocket.
I thought it would be way hard, but no, lots of features around to help stay on the map, plus the sun lent a hand as well. And a lot of being on trail, though I tried to go cross country where it made sense, for more practice. My cheapo smart phone doesn't seem to have the most accurate GPS, I'm itching to adjust the RG track to be on the trail where I was on the trail. But it worked well, dinged reliably except the boulder at #12 where a ribbon indicated I was at the right place, but it took a minute or so to finally get a ding.
Big error on the way to #8, but otherwise went pretty smoothly.
No running today, my knees are feeling their age these days.
Looking forward to doing this again!
