Orienteering 1:32:00 [4] 7.4 km (12:26 / km)
shoes: Brooks Trance
Long at WP.
Lots of small time losses...I climbed too high on this massive hillside and then saw my control a few contours down, which was pretty frustrating at the time. I hovered around for a few seconds before giving in, admitting that it was my control, and going down the hill.
The rocks/leaves are easy to trip in! Fell at least four times, once head-first just as I was passing a lost-looking little kid.
Apparently there were people hiding at controls, but I didn't see them ;-).
I had two more-major mistakes:
to 12 (I think): I ran straight down the wrong hillside, and it was covered in green. Then I saw an uncrossable swamp and realized I was in the wrong place.
Also stopped too soon on the way to 3 and poked around on the hillside before it for awhile, finding a training control with no punch on it (to my dismay!).
Fun course :-).
