Walking 30:00 [1] 1.0 mi (30:00 / mi)
Walked to the start at about 0815. Let Mihai determine where to start. Started and was about 1/3 mile away before deciding that I hadn't started from the right place. Go back to original area and with assist from Ted get pointed to correct start. However, I can't find it becasue the man-made object is about 12" tall and under snow. Streamer is also torn off and is buried. Finally find the correct start after about 15 minutes and start again. I was 95% ready to quit right then, but decided to go on.
Orienteering (Avalon in snow) 1:24:00 [3] 5.0 km (16:48 / km)
First one out and getting through the virgin snow was a bear. Wanted to quit after #1 but hung in there. Couldn't even get much going on the road because shoes were too loose but laces were frozen. Actually didn't do too badly considering I hate the long legs common on FH courses.
