orienteering 1:01:07 [3] 4.2 km (14:33 / km)
Brown course at Fair Hill. Tried to run whenever I could so ran most trails and most fields although would occasionally need to take a break. Couldn't really run much in the woods - need to work on that.
Botched #6 by being too far to the left even though I knew I was too far to the left and it took way to long to concede that I must have passed the control. Came back right to it through the swampy muck. Then stopped to help two little girls on the white course who were actually on the right trail but were confused so I showed them where the trail crossed the stream both on the map and in the terrain and then they felt confident enough to continue. Was okay to 8 but got trapped on the wrong side of a bunch of downed trees and had a serious case of "you can't get there from here" but eventually crawled my way over. Then was ridiculously sloppy to 9 - I think I was getting tired and just stopped paying attention. There were also several people with me and I got lazy and was letting them navigate.
But was still very happy with my time. This was the first time orienteering since NAOC and the first time running while orienteering in at least 6 months.
