Event: West Point A-meet
orienteering race 51:13 [3]
Brown middle at West Point. Very nicely set course by Hannah. I didn't do it justice.
Drove up in the morning and just didn't have my head into orienteering and so lost it on the first control. Half way there I stopped and realized I had not been paying attention, I did not really know where I was, I was not thinking about orienteering at all. I managed to relocate and make my way to #1 but I'd already given away 3-4 minutes. Slow to #2 because I'm rattled but navigate fine. Good to 3-4-5. A small bobble at #6 since there was a lot more rock than mapped but the control was by the second one I checked - the really big one - so not too bad. I had a good general plan to #7 and knew where I was at all times, but did not look carefully enough at the contour lines and didn't go down when I should have and got trapped on top of a cliff. Slowly scrambled down and was fine to the rest of the controls, although sloppy on the last one since I couldn't focus on the small details of the map anymore.
