orienteering (race) 1:01:44 [3]
us champs greenX, totally bombed first control, went straight, sort of along S side of swamp to road, then to road intersection, and thought i had a good line to control but botched it bad, made 2 tries at it, relocated back to road and ran E to linear reentrant and sort of N to control i think it was +/- 6 min error, just wasn't focused or concentrating, mind was wandering about songs, food, cheese, my calf, my hamstring, jumbo magnifiers, etc., got really pissed off and hauled ass to 2 and spiked it, 3 was fair, then bombed 4, since i couldn't run straight and had to curve a bit around swamp i ran right past the control, came back and still couldn't find it, ran till i could see 3 then walked to 4 and found it, probably 4+ min error. so once again i was super pissed off, so i was trying to run hard to make up for mucho lost time, got my act together and ran everything straight , which is all i can do, missed running N up to road from 10 to 11 (which was faster) i opted to run straight. overall was satisfied w/ result but seem to make 2 mistakes on each race that dooms me, only lost about 30 sec to joe b, from 4th to finish, so that was good. need to learn how to use dem der maps and that thing called a compass and figure out how this orienteering game works.
