Orienteering race 43:08 [3] 4.8 km (8:59 / km) +115m 8:01 / km
shoes: La Sportiva Cross Lite
Canadian Middle Champs - Spreckley's Trails
Absolutely diabolical area, probably no more 15m height variation across the map, lots of light green & little hilltops, mounds, gullies and rock all over the place. In all honestly, the type of terrain I suck most at.
#1: Get right into the middle of the circle and just don't see the rock. Frantically look around until I notice a SportIdent box poking out... I'm sure that rock was camouflaged in the same manner as that walkway over the chasm from Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade.
#2: Massive balls up, couldn't see a good route, so just decide to head south and tick off features. After about a minute I've not picked up a thing, so bail to the track to the west and attack from there. Then I go in too early, waste a minute or 2 misreading ponds and marshes. Bail out again and do it right. About 3-4 minutes wasted there.
Small time losses on #6, #13, #15 and #19 misreading the detail in the circle.
Could have been straighter on a few routes as well.
Not a great run, but not quite the disaster it could have been.
