orienteering race 1:10:05 [3] 4.1 km (17:06 / km) +150m 14:27 / km
Brown long course at West Point. Another fine brown course set by Keith. I think they've figured out that those of us on brown like the technical navigation but minimizing the rocky downhills is important.
This was a bit better although I had a few mistakes. Slow down the hill to #1 and #2 but was spiking everything. Went past #5 and had to come back - again having trouble deciding what rock was mapped and what rock wasn't. Nailed 6-7-8. I messed up #9 getting pulled to the right like many people. I think I was so relieved I made it down the hill by 8 that I mentally relaxed and didn't focus since it was not a difficult control but I wasn't being careful. A little sloppy to 10, but nailed the rest. Very slow down the hill again at the end, this time having to sit several times and slide down some rocks on my rear.
A really, really fine weekend of orienteering.
