Orienteering race 22:37 [5] **** 1.87 mi (12:06 / mi) +57m 11:03 / mi
spiked:17/18c shoes: Salomon SC 3 blue
Point Lobos (Lands End and Sutro Heights Park). Sprint the Golden Gate, Middle Brown: 2.44 km, 66 m climb. Official time: 21:48. Split for leg 10-11, where one had to wait for a green light to cross, was subtracted for the official results. Sunny but chilly. (Thirty people were running a multi-round tournament this day, but it went off very badly. Another 17 ran other "colors" of Middle, e.g., Tapio and Cornelia on Middle Green.)
Had a nearly mistake-free run, though I had to run slowly and even stop a few times because the terrain had a lot of details and the map was somewhat hard to see clearly. For #12, I was running along the sidewalk, saw the big depression where the control should've been, knew I should be able to see the marker from that vantage point, but didn't see it so kept running for several seconds along the sidewalk, thinking maybe I needed to go further, but then spotted the bag in the shade, right where I'd expected it. Lost perhaps 10 secs. Though I had started last of the six Brown runners, once I got to #11 I apparently was in the lead, as I had to wake up the remaining controls, costing several seconds. Worse, when I got to #14 (or maybe it was #15), whoever had taped the unit to the stand had covered the punch hole, so I had to spend 5 seconds pulling the tape off.
Official times (with 10->11 leg removed):
1. DW 2148
2. Chuck S 2553
3. Evan 2911
4. George 3602
5. Olga 3654
6. Leslie 4535
