Orienteering race 1:08:02 [4] 4.7 km (14:29 / km)
Ran It Granite A Meet. Middle distance Red-X. First control was horrible. I made 3 major mistakes: 1) I watched where someone else was going who had started before me and they went off in the wrong direction -- that person DNF'd 2) Made a parallel error by going up the wrong stream bed. 3) Saw a wall that was on the map and followed it, but unfortunetly it was actually a fence on the map. So I basically had to redo that control and found it quickly the second time around. Total on control one: 18:08 (it should have been about 5 minutes -- that would have allowed plenty of time. Otherwise everything went fine.
Forests are runnable. It's been raining, so lots of small streams to cross and wade through. Very pretty. 350+ people orienteering.
