Orienteering race (first sprint, course 2) 28:36 [5] *** 2.5 mi (11:26 / mi) +100m 10:11 / mi
spiked:13/14c shoes: Jala Jukola Spider 6 #2
Flying Pig day 2, First Sprint at French Park
Again, messed up #1. I took the road up toward the intermittent trail (mapped as intersecting with the road) but took off too soon, into honeysuckle bushes. Should have gone another 20 meters. Lost maybe 2 minutes or so bashing through the bushes and then unsure where I was when I did hit the silly trail. Fine the rest of the way, and the last 6 controls were great fun--wide open and downhill!
Orienteering race (Second sprint, course 2) 33:29 [5] *** 2.4 km (13:57 / km) +120m 11:10 / km
spiked:11/13c shoes: VJ Falcon - size 6
Flying Pig, day 2 -- Second sprint, Burnet Woods.
I again messed up #1. Scale of the map was 1:4000 (the morning's sprint map was 1:5000), plus I started the same time as a course 3 runner, so I overran the control and was halfway to 2 before figuring out what I had done. Also messed up #8 by looking in the wrong bit of woods.
On all 3 races so far, 1st and 2nd place F50 started behind me and passed me along the course. Bummer!
